is there a way to reset to default values globally? without loading the backup of each module?

ipc quick boot done. Well... it does work, but I don’t know if it will have the desired effect. It’s nice because you get an immediate view of the dash, kind of like most people expect, but... you get a bunch of prompts too like ‘auto stop start disabled’, press brake pedal to start, etc.

I’m hoping this will allow me to select sport mode without having to wait for the menu to update. Time will tell.

Updating on the quick boot, in case anyone wants to know. In practical use, day by day, this does speed up the process from start to the time you can select a drive mode. So for those of us who yearn to slip the shackles of eco normal mode, this mod via for scan does improve the quality of ownership experience.

I believe all of them have to be restored 1x1.

Is there a way to just have the yellow strips in the headlights on for DRL? I have mine set for parking lights now and it includes the marker lights front and rear, tail lights and license plate bulbs. I'm sure it's been asked but I can't find a quick answer and would prefer not to search through 200 pages of thread.

Is there a way to lookup the original value for an address from the backups I made when I first started using Forscan? Can I somehow load the file in Forscan and look at the contents?

Context: I changed my DRLs and I would like to try a different setting. I'd like to know my original value before I made the change.

Did you follow the for scan tutorial and backup all your modules?

From a Forscan guru on a different forum -

https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt - if you go to that link and it asks you what country you're in then set it at U.S. and then click the link above again and it'll be at a VIN entry field. The newer versions of FORScan have a button at the bottom in the (ASBUILT format) programming screens of the modules where you can automatically populate the fields with your asbuilt values if you want to completely restore.
