Just got off phone with the local dealer and its a 100 dollars to turn it on thru the computer...That tech will be make some good bucks for 15 minutes worth of programing.
Do a forum search on FORScan and turn the feature on your self. It will cost you about $30 for a OBD scanner dongle.

I have not had my 2010 for a couple years now, but that information is worth the price of admission. Did not know I could make those changes. Thanks

I was responding to Snoopdog.


A lot of Ford owners with newer vehicles are not aware that there are features wired in the car or truck they can activate ( or disable) without the dealer involvement. Many dealers will not make some of these changes or will charge excessively for the small amount of time required.

Sorry, maybe I should have been clearer. That was a sincere thanks, I even hit the "thanks" button for you. I had a 2010 that I had installed an EBC and ended up subscribing to this thread, but no longer have it and probably don't need to be reading this thread any more, but I do.

I now own a 2015 F150 and have never heard about FORScan. I searched it and have already downloaded the program, registered and ordered the OBDM II MX.

That information was worth me following a thread that is useless to me.

A sincere thank you.

Thanks for the info. I will look into that for the next upgrade. Thinking about the raptor dash next.

Do you know if the + & - are supposed to light up before its flashed when the headlights are on or does that start working after? I was with my buddy in his raptor tonight and noticed his where lite up when he had his headlights on and I just checked mine and they are not on when the head lights are on but suspected till its activated they might not function.

I don't have an answer. I don't had a stock TBC, I use an after market unit that I like better than the stock unit.

Well took truck into dealer today. They replaced a vent that was broken on warranty and flashed ecm to turn TBC on. Wife was back home in an hour so I was charged an hour even though she wasn't there that long. When I go into setup for TBC it gives electric/eoc under the options for trailer brakes. What is the EOC option? I looked in manual and couldn't fine it.

Okay guys cant find an answer.. I had my TBC installed a few weeks ago and yesterday was the first day I had pulled the trailer since having it flashed. I towed the trailer and the brakes an all was working fine. All the lights work fine on the trailer as well. Anyhow its was getting late when I came home so I turned my head lights on and the trailer brakes locked up. So need some advice on why this is happening. Thanks
