FORScan - The cheapest and best scan tool for Ford DIY Mechanics
The best way to scan your own vehicle is investing in a great scan tool platform, but with Ford there is a better alternative to all the expensive options out there. With FORScan you can diagnose your Ford truck issues without breaking the bank because it is completely free.
You do need a few things to get started. A laptop computer and a OBD adapter. I personally use the vGate vLinker OBD2 USB adapter as all the advanced functionality like the special tests and as-build data modifications seem to work perfectly. This is an officially recommended adapter from the app creators as well.
Once you have the adapter and a laptop selected, just head on over to FORScan.org to download the FORScan for Windows application. There are demo modes and many instructions available at that website.
