Sample worksheet
This is a sample of the layout, not a worksheet for your truck. The paid sheet uses the mods you pick and leaves a blank for each original value. You write any change yourself in FORScan.
Sample rows for a 2020 F-150. These are 2015-2020 addresses, not the 2021+ map.
| Module | Address | Your original value | Target value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCM | 726-27-01 | ____________ | xxxx xxx0 xxxx | Sample layout. 2015-2020 Bambi Mode. |
| ACM | 727-01-01 | ____________ | xxxx x0xx xxxx | Sample layout. 2015-2020 Fake Engine Noise. |
| BCM | 726-41-02 | ____________ | xxx0 xxxx xxxx | Sample layout. 2015-2020 Double Horn Honk Disable. |
Sample rows only. A purchased worksheet is built from your year, trim, engine, drivetrain, and selected mods. Worksheet purchases are non-refundable except where required by law.
Secure Idle Enable is a lower-risk, convenience-oriented change for 2015–2020 Ford F-150 trucks, applied with FORScan over an OBD-II adapter. Prevents a 2015–2020 F-150 from being put in gear if the key fob is away. It is fully reversible and typically takes about 5 minutes to write once your worksheet is in hand.
The change touches the Body Control Module (BCM), and your F-Config worksheet lists all 1 as-built code row with the module, address, and target value. Each row includes a blank for your original value so you can back up before writing changes and roll back later. Security feature - truck cannot be driven if fob leaves the area while engine is running.

How you'll apply Secure Idle Enable
The DIY process from start to finish — backup-first and, where possible, reversible.
Back up your originals first
Before changing anything, use FORScan to read and record the current value of each of the 1 row in the Body Control Module (BCM). Your worksheet leaves a blank beside every row for exactly this.
Write the worksheet values
Enter the 1 target row from your worksheet one at a time. Most owners finish Secure Idle Enable in about 5 minutes with a laptop and a FORScan-compatible OBD-II adapter.
Cycle the ignition and verify
Turn the key off and back on, then confirm the change behaves as expected before moving on. If anything looks off, stop and compare against the originals you recorded.
Roll back anytime
Because Secure Idle Enable is fully reversible, you can put every original value back later and return to stock whenever you want.
Compatible F-150 years
Review year-specific FORScan worksheet context before adding this mod to your build.
Before you write values
Make backups, confirm the adapter can see the truck, and review the FAQ before applying worksheet values.
