Default Trailer brake controller replacement, programming required?

I have the factory installed brake controller on my '15 F150 which I believe has gone bad. There is constant power coming out of the brake terminal on the 7 pin plug even when the truck is off, and the truck shows a "trailer wiring fault" message even with no trailer hooked up.

If I replace the controller with a new OEM one will there be any programming needed to activate it or will it be plug and play?

Replacing OEM with OEM should be plug and Play.
I added one to my truck so had to reprogram with Forscan.
