As the web site says, FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 and compatible OBD2 to RS232 interpreters. Freediag A SourceForge project that provides a command line interface for controlling OBDII interfaces (with some support for ELM327 devices). Many Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda models are equipped with MSCAN bus, in addition to HSCAN bus. ELM327 is supported HSCAN bus, MSCAN bus is not supported by the stock OBD2 ELM327 adapter, because MSCAN bus is a Ford protocol specific solution and on non-OBD2 pins. However, ELM327 is very flexible tool. The ELM327 combines all previous ELM chips in a single chip for the first time and also supports the CAN protocols (ISO 15765-4 with 500 kbps and 250 kbps with 11 bit and 29 bit IDs). The ELM327 thus contains the accumulated experiences of tens of thousands of ELM320, ELM322 and ELM323 chips that have been used up to now. FORD HS CAN FORD MS CAN (only for J2534-2, CANtieCAR, OBDLink MX, ELS27 or modified ELM327) FORD SCP FORD 9141 FORD UBP (only for Ford VCMII) Supported modules: Almost all of modules availabe through supported protocols.

Many Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda models are equipped with MSCAN bus, in addition to HSCAN bus. ELM327 is supported HSCAN bus, MSCAN bus is not supported by the stock OBD2 ELM327 adapter, because MSCAN bus is a Ford protocol specific solution and on non-OBD2 pins. However, ELM327 is very flexible tool. You need small modification to add the MSCAN bus support.
How to modify ELM327 with HS/MS CAN switch
The ELM327 OBD2 adapter supported HSCAN bus from stock, because HSCAN bus completely with OBD2 standards. It is support pins 6 and 14. With MSCAN bus occupies pins 3 and 11. The photo below will show the thing (ATTENION: the OBD2 socket on the photo means vehicle one ' OBD2 female'. The adapter is one is 'OBD2 male', so it is 'mirrored'.)
The easy methold to implement MSCAN bus support by add a SW that will shift between MSCAN/HSCAN bus. The picure below will show the modification (ATTENION: the OBD2 socket on the picture means one 'OBD2 female'. The ELM327 OBD2 adapter is one is 'OBD2 male', so it is 'mirror'. The pin are often mixed up because of this. Always remember pins on OBD2 socket. That will help you fast modification)
What are you need modification MSCAN bus?
- You need buy a 6 pin mini-switch of ON-ON type (for example, MTS-202-A2) in any shop that sells electronic components, also prepare a wire.
- Disassemble ELM327 OBD2 adapter(carefully remove the label that hides 4 screws, unscrew them).
- Find a place for the mini-switch (most complex part of the whole operation for some devices that are extremely compact).
- Unsolder wires from pins 6 and 14 of the OBD2 adapter jack and solder them to the 2 middle pins of the mini-switch ON-ON.
- Solder 2 new wires from 2 outer mini-switch pins to pins 6 and 14 of the OBD2 adapter jack.
- Solder 2 other new wires from 2 other outer mini-switch pins to pins 3 and 11 of the OBD2 adapter jack.
- Check the work (it is very important to do not mix CAN-L and CAN-H wires up!) and assembly the ELM327 OBD2 adapter, mark the MSCAN bus and HSCAN bus position on the device box to avoid confusion.
How to use FORScan with EML327 MSCAN
FORScan version no.2 has support of MS CAN bus and optimized for using the HS/MSCAN switch. There is no necessity to adjust any ELM327 OBD2 adapter parameters for MSCAN bus. FORScan makes all the necessary changes in an automated mode. When FORScan establishes a vehicle connection, it analyses the vehicle configuration. Module MS CAN bus are supported, FORScan will ask user about HS/MS CAN switch.
It means FORScan doesn't expect a presence of MS CAN bus and is not going to look for it. If user confirms the MS/HS switch presence, FORScan will ask user to shift the bus, for example:
Conclusion
Using the HS/MS CAN switch (minimize number of necessary shifts) with FORScan version 2. For example, reading DTCs in all of 5 HS CAN modules and 2 MS CAN modules will always require only 1 shift. Please share it, if this article helps you. If you have BAFX OBD2 adapter, you can modify same as ELM327. Please read modify BAFX adapter or BAFX adapter reviews.
