Very easy. You just need a laptop, free software from here, and an OBD adapter (I bought this). You do need to sign up for a free trial license for the software, and for some reason that takes around 30 minutes to process, but it is free.What all is needed to get and use forscan. Idk anything about it as this is my first newer ford. Only two other fords I ever owned were a 95 F150 and an 05 Taurus.
Once you have all that, go to the car, connect the OBD to your laptop and plug it into the car's OBD port, then start the car. Once the car is started, on your laptop, open up for Forscan software, have it connect to the car. Switch to the Configuration and Programming set of tools, select the ACM module, save a backup of the existing settings, then adjust the ESE value to 0, select Write All, wait until that's done, then turn the car off, start the car back up, if everything is good, tell Forscan to stop the service procedure, disconnect the software, then shut off the car and disconnect the OBD plug.
Here is a video that walks you through the process, but the video is for an F150, not a S650 Mustang, so the value is a little different. On the Mustang, you want to find 727-01-01 on the ACM module, then change the number where the asterisk is below to a 0; that will disable the ESE.
727-01-01 | xxxx | xxxx | *x-- |
That said, use at your own risk! I'm just a guy on the internet.
