ELS27 Scanner Diagnostic Cable (V2.3.8) with FTDI FT232RL – FORScan for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln & Mercury
ELS27 V2.3.8 is a professional OBD2 diagnostic cable built on FTDI FT232RL for maximum stability and compatibility with FORScan – the tool specifically developed for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury. Unlike regular OBD2 readers, FORScan via ELS27 can display modules, fault codes, PIDs, tests and service functions that are not exposed by generic scanners.
✅ Why ELS27 + FORScan?
- 🔎 Detects hidden modules not visible with standard OBD2 tools.
- 📈 Advanced PIDs & real-time data – read sensor data from all supported control units.
- 🧪 Diagnostic tests & service procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite) directly against the vehicle's modules.
- 🔌 Supports HS-CAN & MS-CAN (requires the correct adapter, e.g., ELS27).
- 💻 FT232RL – stable USB communication without interruptions.
- 🧩 Compatible with ELM327 & J2534 Pass-Thru.
🛠️ Key Features of FORScan with ELS27
- Identify vehicle network configuration.
- Read & clear DTCs (fault codes) from all modules.
- Read module sensor data (PIDs) in real-time.
- Run diagnostic tests & service procedures.
📋 Get Started – Step by Step
-
Download & install FORScan from forscan.org.
-
Install FTDI drivers (needed for Windows to recognize ELS27). They are usually installed automatically.
-
Connect the ELS27 to the car's OBD2 port (often under the steering wheel near the pedals).
-
Start FORScan on your computer and select the correct COM port.
-
Scan the vehicle – the program will automatically identify modules (HS-CAN/MS-CAN).
-
Run tests, read fault codes & perform service functions directly from the program.
⚡ Common Problems & Troubleshooting
❓ FORScan doesn't find the adapter
✅ Check that FTDI drivers are installed.
✅ In Device Manager, verify the adapter gets a COM port (e.g., COM3).
✅ Try a different USB port.
❓ No connection with MS-CAN modules
✅ Ensure you are using a genuine ELS27 (or OBDLink MX).
✅ ELS27 handles switching between HS-CAN/MS-CAN automatically, no manual switch is needed.
❓ Error messages during programming
✅ Check that the vehicle has sufficient battery voltage (preferably use a battery charger).
✅ Always run as administrator in Windows.
✅ Make sure you have the latest version of FORScan.
