Hi all a complete newbie to this, have been on Forscan for a couple of years but never dipped my toe.
I have a Ford Transit courier which is throwing up several error codes and I am trying desperate to understand how and what to read on the Forscan, are there any tutorials for this.

If you want assistance here, create a decent post or add additional info here. Screenshots, saved DTC list, data logs etc.
Vague info results in vague answers.
Quality info helps you get quality answers.

Re: Newbie Learning how to read Forscan
Hi, thank you for your response, I will post my readings with the issues and hopefully get the help I need. I have watched a few Youtube clips on this but there are so many of the things you can monitor which do not apply to specific vehicles so don't know if they are not working or not applicable to model as no readings if you know what I mean
Thanks again and I will set a post out today.

If you post the fault codes and their description you'll get answers pretty quickly.

Forscan has two main functions:
Pro quality scan tool
Programming/configuration changes to vehicle
If you are trying to fix a problem, you should research troubleshooting on YouTube. You will see how you can use a scan tool. Forscan can perform many service functions.
