Successfully Added Integrated Trailer Brake Controller to 2014 F250 XL

Post by Audiomediocrity »

I was struggling with this, searched threads everywhere for the appropriate settings to manually modify the configurations. I could not find anything for the 2014. I finally found a thread that said I had to enable the trailer brake controller in the ABS module. When I selected ABS module ( not ABS Module As built) I was able to just tell it to enable , and write. That was half of the story. At that point, it felt like the controller worked while driving, but the manual lever was useless, and there was nothing on the IPC, Instrument Panel Cluster. I watched a video by ARod on how to do this with the Ford Scan Tool.

It basically let me know, I also needed to enable it in the IPC. So, after enabling the Trailer Brake Controller in the IPC Module everything works great.

A few notes, I was making it way harder than it needed to be, trying to do manual codes that I couldn't find. The non as-built menu's are pretty simple and easy, and you don't have to track down hexadecimal codes.

Also, can we please eliminate the search limitation that something needs to be more that 3 letters to be searched? The entire truck is built with 3 letter acronyms. even if I could put " TBC " in the search it would probably simplify the process.
