FORScan forum

Hi all.

First time here. I believe that Forscan should work with my vehicle (effectively rebadged Mazda BT-50), but the application doesn't recognise the ECU automatically, nor does it accept the ECU number when entered manually.

I suspect that this is likely due to a change of ECU manufacturer - the part number is not in the "Bosch" xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx numeral and letter format, but one complete 10 digit number.

I'm using the Vgate vLinker OBD2 adaptor.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, if it's a ford Mazda vehicle then i think it should work.
There aren't a load of them on here but sure i saw folks talking about the same car recently on here somewhere.
There will likely be a need to do something like what you've tried already. There will be some detail you can give it which will make it recognise it. Sorry i cant be of more help.
Although you may wanna try searching bt50 on here as there probably isn't millions of posts on them.

Thx. I'll have a go at that
Although I did read something somewhere a bit after I wrote OP about Mazda(Isuzu) going away from Ford protocols in 2019, so Iighy be out of luck

Depends, if it's Mazda protocol then forscan also does Mazda.
