2020 Explorer secure idle programming.

[Blair_May]

I have a 2020 Explorer and would like to program in the secure idle feature. I was able to do this with no problem on my 2016 Explorer. Is there a programming code for this?

Welcome to the Forum.
Was your 2016 push button start? I ask because I just saw an article that said Secure Idle is not compatible with push-button start.

Peter,
Our 2016 Explorer did have a push button start. The secure idle wouldn’t let the transmission out of park if it didn’t sense the key fob. I did this with my 2017 SuperDuty as well.

Thank you. Good to know and good luck.

You can use FORSCAN to enable SecureIdle, but it should be enabled by Default on 2020MY

There is no mention of Secure Idle in the Manual. It seems it is PIU factory installed feature only.

How did you program your 2016 Explorer to do this? Was it with forscan?
