FENG - Fake Engine Noise Generator DELETE

Found an easy way to disable the FENG for the Focus RS. Simply unplug a cable (no tools needed).

How do we do this with the Explorer ST without FORscan?

Got word from the Ford Dealership that they did not know about the FENG. Had to explain this exists in the Explorer ST. Because they do not know too much about it, they said they could not figure out how to turn it off.

Wait so does this work on our ST?

Only way I know of is through ForScan. Have not found a Dealership with the 'know-how' to disable it themselves.

If anyone knows the process, please send that over. I'd like to get that over to my Dealership.

I went to the dealer and walked them thru it. but the software for the 2020 vehicles is different. so for now there is no option to shut off the noise.

Yes there is, did it with FORScan the other day... No more fake exhaust sound

I purchased my ELM 327 thinking it was going to be a piece of cake to install the FORScan program. Well I’m having a heck of a time accessing the activation code. Someday when I figure it out I will have great ST without that stupid fake engine sound!

right, but the dealer cant do it, right? forscan is something different than what they have.

Depends, some dealers will do it for you (other members have indicated), some will just don't want to be bothered, others have techs that do not have the knowledge etc... Usually dealers service centres should have access to all the vehicle codes, programs, software etc through their Ford computer software system.. Hope that helps

This is correct. My dealer isn't even acknowledging their vehicles make a fake exhaust noise.

Well, I finally got the Forscan figured out went in and changed the code in ASM. and I got to say I’m somewhat disappointed. It is quieter but still pretty noisy. But I still do like the car. As we all know nothing’s perfect. By the way every Ford dealer has what’s called an IDS program which they are able to go in and change codes same as Forscan. They just don’t want to be bothered!

What did you use for an OBDII plug? did you use wired or wireless?

The fact our cars have this is sad.

Is this the noise that is only when in Sport mode or does this generate the noise at all times? I ask because when in Normal mode and idling at a stop, there is some 'engine' sound that comes from the back.. Thanks!

The Fake Engine Noise happens in NORMAL mode & it gets louder in SPORT mode. That sound in idle may be from your rear speakers.

I have not heard the Fake Engine Noise in ECO mode.

But if you install a Borla S-Type exhaust, you'll assume it's coming from that.

Thanks! No Borla exhaust yet, or any mods.. Where are you in DC?

Just south of DC.

I’m waiting for mods from Ford Performance. Don’t want the warranty getting in the way of upgrades. But COVID has it all backdated. Who knows when we will get more options available.

I likewise solved my fake engine noise with the Borla ATAK. I'm sure the noise is still there but I can no longer hear it.

I am not finding this on mine, am I missing something?
