Performance Shift Indicator A10

[IanKar]

I know there is another string on this but no answers or reply on how this can work on the A10's. This feature is available on the 6-speed and looks like it's affective from the video's I have seen. For some reason Ford omitted this feature from the automatics even though we have the paddle shifts. The various people at Ford or Ford Perf cannot help me.
I have seen that it is possible to activate this feature through Forscan and an OBD2. Has anyone done this on the Mach1 automatic and is prepared to explain the process? I did purchase Forscan Lite but with my Kiwi4, there is no communication. I belive the Obi Link MX+ may work but before investing in more, I would like to know if this works and how to do it. I'm no Einstein so I think this might be beyond my 'pay grade'.

I'm assuming you are referring to being able to see the actual A10 gear that the vehicle would be in at the speedo gauge cluster - when driving in "Normal"? As the trans shifts between gears?

What gauge cluster do you have - Analog or the Digital?

Can you post images of what you're seeing in Forscan?

He is wanting to see the shift lights in the display, like the picture above. The manual M1's have this feature, the A10's are omitted. Can this feature be added with Forscan?

Thanks but Anthony said it right. Wanting those digital lights to show above the gear 'bar'.

With Forscan on my GT, I connected to the IPS module, changed Performance Shift from Disabled to Enabled and changed Performance Shift Indicator from Disabled to Enabled. I now have the shift indicator for my A10 2021 GT.

Thanks. Did you use an OBD2 though?

Yes, I use OBDLink EX with a Windows laptop. I do not use the Bluetooth MX version with the phone.

Okay thanks. I ordered this today. So hoping it works out...

Got the OBD2 and managed to read my vehicle. Downloaded codes etc. Searched and searched in Forscan and couldn't find Performance Shift and the PS Indicator. I also downloaded the Forscan Extended Licence.

Who cares? I am worrying about my speed limit is, not what gear I’m in with an auto.

If you track your car and you use the paddle shifts then you would care if you redline it. These lights help prompt you to shift.

Did you go to modify the IPS module?

Hi. Under the Configuration & Programming section, I see "Conf & Prog' and also the "Log" tab. I do not see the tab for "IPC Module Configuration". My vehicle connects okay so not sure why it does not show up as an option.

How many modules show up whenever you connect? When I first connected with an old OBD adapter I had laying around, I could only connect to a couple of modules. When I connected to the vehicle with the adapter I mentioned earlier in the thread, I was able to see around 20 different modules.

I found this so I will try change my settings to this and see...
