Trailer Brake Control Module Enable is an advanced change that rewards careful backups for 2015–2020 Ford F-150 trucks, applied with FORScan over an OBD-II adapter. Enables trailer brake control module support in the cluster. It is fully reversible and typically takes about 10 minutes to write once your worksheet is in hand.
The change touches the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), 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. Supports factory trailer brake controller retrofit workflows.

The DIY process from start to finish — backup-first and, where possible, reversible.
Before changing anything, use FORScan to read and record the current value of each of the 1 row in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). Your worksheet leaves a blank beside every row for exactly this.
Enter the 1 target row from your worksheet one at a time. Most owners finish Trailer Brake Control Module Enable in about 10 minutes with a laptop and a FORScan-compatible OBD-II adapter.
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.
Because Trailer Brake Control Module Enable is fully reversible, you can put every original value back later and return to stock whenever you want.
Review year-specific FORScan worksheet context before adding this mod to your build.
Make backups, understand the tool requirements, and review the FAQ before applying worksheet values.
Customers get a clean worksheet with original-value blanks, target values, completion checks, and module notes.
| Module | Address | Target value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPC | 720-07-01 | xxxx x*xx xxxx | If as-built is 0, use 8. If as-built is 6, use E. |
Requires careful backups and confidence working in FORScan.
It is rated advanced. It is well within reach for a careful DIYer, but back up your original values and work through the worksheet one row at a time.
Yes. This change is fully reversible as long as you record your original as-built values first. Your worksheet leaves a blank for each original value so you can roll back to stock.
It writes 1 code row to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). Each row is listed in your worksheet with its address and target value.
Most owners finish Trailer Brake Control Module Enable in about 10 minutes once they have the worksheet, a laptop, and a FORScan-compatible OBD-II adapter.
Trailer Brake Control Module Enable applies to 2015–2020 F-150 trucks. Compatibility can still vary by trim, package, and module software version, so confirm against your own as-built data.
Use only when the correct trailer brake hardware/module is installed.
