Ford - Superduty Can question

General Custom Hardware / Electronics
1

Hopefully someone out there can assist me. I am in the process of making a digital dash for a superduty truck. I am building a realcan module for my older superduty but have a newer one, and would like to get my indicators from the can. I was able to connect to my wife’s Lincoln and pull left turn signal, brake, door ajar. The right turn signal I can see but its a solid value and not changing like the left turn signal.

Has anyone done a Ford can xml file or have a list of addresses? I took one of the existing XMLs and edited to get the couple I do have working, working.

Also, I have a 2017 Ford Superduty as well and I cannot get the OBDlink Ex or Sx to connect to the can. I can get OBD to work no issue, but can will not connect.

Have you checked on a Ford SD site for people dipping into this stuff?

I would expect, knowing that FROD security is tight, that you may get help there.

Also, you need to be clear what year you are working with, its not clear from your message other than you have a 2017, and depending upon year, they will be different.

hello my friend, is there any development about ford can xml, i started my project today, there are a lot of deficiencies, please help about ford

If you just need to find the CAN ID’s and location of the data, I might be able to help. I have a lot of ford DBC data. I don’t have broad XML sheets since DBC files don’t convert to realdash XML files easily. If you tell me what you’ve tried, I can suggest alternate data.

This will give a good starting point:

I can also create XML files from clear description documents.

Any chance you have a Ford xml for can? Trying this again and was hoping you might have Ford available

No, sorry. No updates on that front.

What do you need mapped and do you have a dbc file?

I have an xml file for my 2020 mustang that I keep adding to. Ford has a lot of CAN IDs that are split between bytes or annoying to convert to the xml format.

If you have the know-how to confirm some CAN IDs, I can see if my car shares the same format.

Working on this would require to have actual vehicle. Currently we do not have resources to scan vehicles for their CAN communications.
