I paid 100.00 total including shipping on Ebay for a base 2020 Escape wheel, same as the Maverick XL but with the CC switches. Would have liked to find a leather wheel as an upgrade but happy with the deal anyways. I am still waiting on the truck to install it. It is currently setting in a rail yard waiting but headed for the finial destination to unload. The anticipation is getting almost unbearable.
If you get a chance can you let me know what the left code was? I have to program my buddies wheel for that…Thanks for everyone else's hard work, I got my cruise control working with ease! I ended up with a 2020 Escape leather wrapped w/heated and adaptive cc wheel. Even though I can't yet use the adaptive, CC still functions fine. I did need to use a different left switch code in the SCCM via trial and error. Next on the list is heated steering wheel/seats. I ordered the HVAC module LJ6T-18C612-RB, still need to source a clock spring and figure out the wiring.
Using Forscan 2.3.47.test20220307 with no hex code modifying, just lists with choices:
What about the ABS code? I read in one of the posts that the hybrid required a change in the ABS otherwise mpg would go down??

Will the setting shown work on hybrids Im kinda afraid to try this as I know nothing about Forscan TxsSo 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:
To remove old wheel:
Use flat blade each side from back and move the ‘levers’ toward center of the wheel, horn button/airbag :
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
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:
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..
Thanks for the great tutorial. It got me up and running with a Bronco Sport leather steering wheel. Forscan just released 2.3.47 and I was finally able to access the ABS module to set the cruise control value. All factory spec now!So was following the threads here on enabling cruise but didn’t see anyone doing it on a hybrid…

Any error codes from the ACC buttons? I have a line on the same wheel and will pull the trigger if no issues with the ACC buttons, the plastic wheel is killing meThanks for everyone else's hard work, I got my cruise control working with ease!

No error codes, zero issues whatsoever. ACC doesn't work but it's not throwing any errors because I set the options for CC not ACC.
