Maverick Hybrid XL
So was following the threads here on enabling cruise but didn’t see anyone doing it on a hybrid…

Went and bought a 2020 Escape steering wheel with leather and heat, swapped it out for the XL wheel and spent a bit of time fiddling with FORscan to get it operational.

Worked like a charm!

First I suggest unhooking the battery, which resides under the rear passenger side seat:

Ford Maverick Factory Cruise Control Enabled + Escape Steering Wheel Installed on HYBRID XL Maverick 7C152B43-7882-408C-A3C2-E2BC98128832




To remove old wheel:

Use flat blade each side from back and move the ‘levers’ toward center of the wheel, horn button/airbag :

Ford Maverick Factory Cruise Control Enabled + Escape Steering Wheel Installed on HYBRID XL Maverick 599CF9F3-6355-47F6-B5F8-C05187BD4339




Rotate the wheel 90 degrees to access each side, have to hold the airbag on the releases side so it doesn’t re-attach.

Once removed, unhook the connections, the white clip comes off by pushing the center tab, to remove the airbag clips slide a flat blade under the orange tab and lift, once the tabs are raised the clip can be carefully pulled straight off the airbag.

Take off the nut holding the wheel on, I used an impact gun..

Reattach the new wheel in reverse of the removal process.

Interestingly the new heated wheel had wiring for heat, but the socket in the clock spring didn’t have the spade terminals to receive it…I’m looking to add heated wheel so will re-address this in a separate thread.

New wheel in place:

Now came programming via FORscan- I used this one:

OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter
Loaded Forscan, accepted the modules, had a friend with a Lariat so scanned his to see what the settings were..

for the right button, changed the setting in the SCCM module to #1


Ford Maverick Factory Cruise Control Enabled + Escape Steering Wheel Installed on HYBRID XL Maverick 13DFA44F-25C3-4F72-8D4D-C8039458990A




The left button was trickier - had to go through all the options as the XL didn't have adaptive CC, just ‘regular’ CC. Checked the volume switch it until it worked, which was #11

So switches worked, but still no cruise enabled. Tried a bunch of modules wherever there was ‘cruise control’ listed but nothing seemed to add criise operation until I flipped this in the IPC module:


Ford Maverick Factory Cruise Control Enabled + Escape Steering Wheel Installed on HYBRID XL Maverick F37085C9-5DC4-4D09-A582-D9B8A18CC3E0




And it worked! Operating CC in a Hybrid!

All buttons work as intended and was certainly a very easy and integrated way to add cruise to the Hybrid Maverick.

Hope this helps others as I just can’t live without cruise, especially on long trips..

Kudos for the work around, I don’t think I would have dared mess with my truck like that . Good work

Amazing. I look forward to seeing if you can add heat to the steering wheel. One of my orders is in XLT without the luxury package and I would love to add a heated steering wheel. Luckily already have Cruise.

I think you guys are hacking this truck in ways that Ford never imagined.

XL LUXURY baby. The leather wrapped wheel feels 10x better than the plastic crap.

People have been hacking the F150 for a while, adding adaptive cruise, heated steering wheel and seats, etc. The fact is that most consumers don't want to bother and would prefer to just get it that way from the factory so I don't think Ford cares about the minority of owners who cheat the system.

Several of us have done hybrids. Nice writeup though, it is cleaner in presentation than many of the rambling threads that were created as this was being discovered.

A couple of comments:
  • There is an ABS value to write as well, you will need a special (beta) FORScan version to do it. See the rambling threads for details.
  • The torque on the wheet bolt is pretty low, no need for an impact. Oh, and reinstall with Loctite, for safety.

@Doc928 - any info on where you got the steering wheel and cost? This and the all digital dash are making me so happy I opted for the XL! Now wondering if leather escape seats will fit 🤔

I found on car-part.com, $260 shipped. Another one popped up so bought for a friend $185 shipped. Both had leather and heat. Could also just purchase the switches new from ford as well to save some $$.
I would wait for Katzskin to have leather for the XL (coming soon) and add heated seats at that time…

I looked at the abs module - had a place to flip a switch, but when writing would not complete the update..
The Cruise operates perfectly without that module updated.

More used the impact to get it off..I’m old and used to working on older Porsches where the damn things are frozen in place…
No real need for impact here…

Thanks! Probably will go with the steering wheel since the XL wheel is so slippery

did you have to do anything about taping the clockspring? I read on other posts about having to tape it when you take the wheel off.

All of these Escape parts ending up on XL Mavericks... Eventually it's going to be an Escape with a bed. Wait a minute....
