2015-2016 F-150 – Trailer Brake Controller Installation
If a Dealership is installing a factory Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) on a 2015-2016 F-150, instructions are available in the Workshop Manual, Section 206-10 or on the Ford
Accessories Website.
Once the TBC is installed, use IDS 98.02 or later to configure the Instrument Cluster for TBC by enabling the TBC Gain Setting in the Personality menu of the Programmable Parameters.
Then on the 2016 only, also enable the TBC Module parameter.
The Factory TBC connector C2142 is located under the steering column near the Data Link Connector or plugged into the backside of the IP coin holder.
The installation of a TBC on a vehicle that was not originally equipped is not warrantable.
To determine if a vehicle was originally equipped with TBC, click the additional vehicle info link in OASIS and search for code FDDAD – INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROL.
Service Information & Reprogramming
Software necessary to program electronic modules to the latest calibration level, perform module initialization (PATS), and set Programmable Parameters on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:
- Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
- Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)
In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
