Ultimate OBD JScan Thread

[Redz72]

You’re welcome! Sounds pretty normal to me. Id scan it with the code reader in jscan just to see if anything is there

Thanks brother. Just probably me overthinking things. I’m all about wrenching and mods, but this is my first time messing with the computers in the truck. Thanks for your help.

Glad to see this thread. I've been using JScan for my Jeep for a while, so already knew it had a Ram option.

good morning from germany.. i would have a qustion about my 2019 ram 1500. With the vlinker mc+ and JScan i configure the daylights only on the halos . That works perfect. But i have a problem wiht the LEd taillights... when the turn signal is on and hit the brakes, the brake light go out... is this possibly to solve with the menu light conversion us to europe ? thx for help, have a nice weekend, Daniel

This is not possible with the LED tail lights because the amber turn signal and red brake light LEDs are on the same board in the same location. The closest you can possibly get to keeping the brake light on while the turn signal is flashing is “separated brake lamp dropout” set to deactivated.
This will cause the turn signal to flash “amber-red-amber-red”, instead of “amber-off-amber-off”.

I would like to try this. Thanks @Jimmy07

Is it this?

Yep

 

[theblet]

Yep

Done. Worked like a charm. Didn’t even have to let the computers go to sleep

 

[theblet]

Brake light alternate blinking with turn signal:

Turn ignition to run with engine OFF

Adaptation > Lights conversion US-Euro > Separated Lightning Brake/Stop Lamp Dropout

Change to “Deactivated”

Hit GO

Once applied, turn ignition to off. Leave vehicle and close all doors.

Make sure key is far away from vehicle so the modules can completely go to sleep.

Wait 10 minutes.

Done.

Thank you @Jimmy07 and @theblet .. that is the 100% correct way. It works now perfectly. Have all a fine sunday


another short question.. is there a point of configuartion, that the windwos can be open by using the key fob and i dont find a menu for saving my car settings in JScan?

No problem! I think you can only do that with the tazer dt.

Thx.. so there´s no chance with Jscan you think? Powerfolding Mirrors with ignition and Windows up/ down with the key fob? i hope, that is feasible with Jscan !

Not 100% sure tbh. I’m fairly new at this. If I find anything I’ll let you know. @Jimmy07 would know

yes, i´m too... i find a menu at Jscan like "Auto Power Folding Mirror present" and "global up" and "global down"
i hope that @Jimmy07 can say something to this.

Seems I’ve asked the mirror question already!

Ok.. thats true... the plastic gears are not built for livetime

Is it possible to use JScan to turn on the factory brake controller module if I add it myself? I dont have my Ram yet, and a lot of the ones I'm looking at don't have it from the factory. I know I can add the hardware easy enough myself, but trying to figure out how to get it activated.

Yes I believe so, tho I’ve not actually done it myself

Going to going this route! Just ordered new tires and do not want to deal with the dealership to make any changes. Looking through this thread there is a post with a recommended obd reader and bypass cable. Is that one still relevant or is there better options out there? Basically I probably will only be changing the size of my tires and adjusted the tpms. Thanks!

This is what I used and they are still treating me well.
