FORScan can indeed disable MyKey settings on Ford vehicles. MyKey is a feature designed to promote safe driving habits, particularly for young and inexperienced drivers. It allows the owner of the vehicle to program certain restrictions and limitations on the vehicle’s functionality, such as speed limits, audio volume limits, and seatbelt reminders.
To disable MyKey settings using FORScan, you will need a compatible OBD2 adapter and the FORScan software installed on a Windows computer. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to disable MyKey settings:
1. Connect your OBD2 adapter to the vehicle’s OBD2 port, usually located under the dashboard near the steering column.
2. Launch the FORScan software on your computer and navigate to the settings section of the dashboard. This can usually be found in the top menu bar.
3. Scroll down to the “MyKey” section within the settings. This is where you will find all the programmed MyKey settings on your vehicle.
4. Clear all the settings in the MyKey section. This will disable the settings activated in MyKey on all programmed keys.
It is important to note that disabling MyKey settings using FORScan will remove all restrictions and limitations set by the MyKey feature. This means that any programmed keys will no longer have any restrictions on speed, audio volume, or seatbelt reminders. Additionally, it is crucial to understand that disabling MyKey settings may have legal and safety implications, especially if the vehicle is being driven by young or inexperienced drivers.
Before proceeding with disabling MyKey settings, it is recommended to carefully consider the potential consequences and legal obligations. It is always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a professional for guidance if you are unsure about the implications of disabling MyKey settings.
FORScan can disable MyKey settings on Ford vehicles by clearing the settings in the MyKey section of the software’s settings dashboard. However, it is important to understand the potential legal and safety implications before making any changes to MyKey settings.
