The ELS27 FORScan diagnostic cable is a professional multifunctional adapter for full computer diagnostics, programming, and coding of Ford and Mazda vehicles. The device is built on modern microcontrollers PIC24HJ128CP504 and converter FT232RQ, ensuring high stability, compatibility with original software, and correct interaction with vehicle electronic control units (ECUs).
The key advantage of the ELS27 cable is support for three independent CAN buses: HS-CAN (High-Speed), MS-CAN (Medium-Speed), and MM-CAN (Mid-Speed Module). This allows diagnostics not only of main engine and transmission systems but also connection to body electronics, comfort systems, multimedia, and auxiliary modules, which is especially important for modern vehicles with complex network architecture.
Diagnostic cable user manual: Reading and clearing errors; Activating functions; Step-by-step programming process (firmware update).
Main Features and Functions of ELS27 FORScan Adapter
- Complete diagnostics of all vehicle electronic systems with depth comparable to dealership equipment (IDS, VCM).
- Reading, decoding, and resetting fault codes (DTC) from any ECUs.
- Reading real-time parameters (Live Data) – RPM, temperature, voltage, pressure, fuel trim adjustments, sensor signals, and more.
- Mileage verification – ability to read actual mileage data from various modules (engine, transmission, body modules) to detect discrepancies with odometer readings.
- Service functions – resetting service intervals, clearing oil/filter change indicators, adaptation after service work.
- Adaptation and calibration – programming sensors, actuators, electronic throttle body, immobilizer, stability systems.
- Forced diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration for diesel engines.
- ECU programming (flashing) – updating factory software, fixing manufacturer errors, recalibrations.
- Chip-tuning – replacing stock engine firmware to increase power, torque, optimize fuel consumption.
- Programming additional keys – adding new ignition keys to the immobilizer system.
- Coding (configuration changes) – activation of hidden factory functions not enabled during vehicle assembly. For example:
- Activating cruise control (if hardware supported)
- Automatic door locking when driving starts
- Automatic low beam activation
- Closing windows from remote key fob
- Changing turn signal operation modes
- Activating comfort functions (double-click trunk opening, parking assistants, etc.)
- Adaptation of new or used modules after replacement – programming into vehicle network, removing protection, entering VIN code.
Software
Specialized software is used with the ELS27 cable:
- FORScan – primary software for diagnostics, adaptation, and programming of Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury. Supports extended functions with body, suspension, climate control modules.
- ELMConfig – software for coding Ford vehicle parameters, changing comfort, lighting, and lock settings.
- FoCCCus – utility for deep configuration changes of Ford engine and body electronics ECUs with script support.
Note: Software installation and configuration are not provided by the store. Only brief consultation on connection and basic usage is possible.
