Hi new boy on the block here,

     i have a 2014 ford connect that was limited to 62 mph I took it to a ford dealer who used the ids system to re program it i took it back 4 times in all as they were unable to disable the limiter,long story short i presssed the auto start stop button whilst driving and the van broke the speed limit i knocked it back off and the speed dropped again it seems if you knock the auto stop start on and off it affects the speed limiter any ideas please as i find this weid thanks in anticipation regards mike

I have read on various forums that there are some functions that IDS can't change but Forscan can. They usually relate to safety or regulatory functions. For example you can configure a vehicle in the US to have the fog lights and high beams on at the same time. IDS will not allow this and/or dealerships will not do this. The speed limiter may be in the "disallowed" category in IDS.

 

Attached are some screen shots from Forscan on my 2016 TC.  I am showing the DRL options in Forscan. There are about 80 configurations you can view and possibly change in Forscan. I think the speed limiter in one of them. BUT...not all changes programmed in Forscan actually make a change to the vehicle (they don't work). For example, none of the DRL selections in my case made any change to my TC. Forscan works better on some Fords than others.

 

Since the speed limiter is a constant nuisance, I think it would be worth the investment in gear and research to fix this. Search this forum for my Forscan post and then go to the other Ford forums listed for some Forscan details and tutorials.

 

Good luck.

Do you have all of the keys that came with the TC from the factory?  With the MyKey feature it is possible to set a speed limit for a key.  I had a rental CMax in Italy which was limited to maybe 10KPH over the Autostrada speed limit of 130KPH.  Problem was there as a 5 or 6 KPH error in the speedometer so in reality it would go 3 or 4 KPH over the speed limit.  Made passing very difficult on the Autostrada.  If you don't have the master key I'm not sure how to undo it.  Maybe purchase another key?  However that's $$$$!

Sounds to me like you have the MyKey function enabled on your vehicle.  You can clear the settings IF you have the admin key.  Check page 45 of your owners manual.  http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2014-transitconnect-owner-manual-version-1_EN-US_11_2013.pdf.
