Ford Maverick Cruise Control

In this video, I will add, or should I say, 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 option on my 2022 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐗𝐋. I will be doing this cruise control upgrade based on the information provided by user 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐𝐗𝐋 at the 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 forum with a few changes. I am using my truck as a guinea pig for this over-the-shoulder, step-by-step tutorial but know that I have since upgraded four other vehicles with no issues!

NOTE: As previously mentioned, the information provided here is not something I created. It was widely available on the internet before this recording. Also, my dyslexia got the best of me, and I misspoke on at least one of the codes, so please follow the written instructions! This is a proven DIY procedure, but nevertheless, the liability of any damages to property or person lies on the person doing the cruise control upgrade. I have no idea when you will be viewing this video, but please know that any updates to this information will be posted at https://cubanredneck.com/ford-maverick-cruise-control/

Believe it or not, many base model Ford Mavericks, both hybrids and EcoBoost, did not come equipped with factory cruise control. However, the ECU supports such a function. Adding cruise control to your 2021+ 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐗𝐋 or XLT is a two-step process that requires physical and software changes. The minute the Ford Maverick hit the street, mechanics, tuners, and car enthusiasts in general when to work on finding a solution to this minor issue.

Some of the first implementations reported online rely on finding parts from other vehicles that share the same platform, such as the steering wheel from the Ford Escape. We now know that unless a leather-wrapped steering wheel is what you are looking for, there is no need to replace it because all Ford Maverick trims share the same steering wheel and the same steering wheel facia. The only difference is the left and right switches! This is the first thing you need to order from your local Ford dealer to add a factory cruise control option to your 2021+ Ford Maverick XL.

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬

As previously mentioned before, we can activate the 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 option for your Ford Maverick XL. We need to replace the steering wheel switches. The part number for the left one is Motorcraft SW8576, and for the one on the right is Motorcraft SW8579. With controls on hand, we can disconnect the positive terminal from the battery. Put the key in the ignition to the run position and rotate the steering wheel to the 9 o'clock position. Insert a small flat screwdriver into the small opening in the back of the steering wheel, behind the switch, and pry down to reload the airbag. Then, rotate the steering wheel to the 3 o'clock position and repeat. Disconnect the horn and airbag leads and rotate the steering wheel back to the 12 o'clock position. Slip four fingers on the inside of the facia. Push down with your thumb while pulling up with your fingers to release the facia. We can now replace the switches. For this, all you'll need is a small Torx. With the new switches in place, do the reverse of what you just did, starting with the bottom and moving your way up. Then reconnect the airbag and horn, and press firmly downwards until you hear it click.

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥

NOTE: The codes and programing I used to activate the factory 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 on "my" 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 are slightly different from what you have seen elsewhere. I am not sure if it has to do with the absence of 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝟑𝟔𝟎.

So, counting that you have already downloaded and installed 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐒𝐜𝐚 from ForScar.Org, that you have a USB to OBD2 interface, and that you have successfully connected to your Maverick, here is the procedure!

Step #1 - Click on the icon that looks like a CHIP from the left menu. And select SCCM (as BUILT format), click play, click ok on the warning, and navigate to section 724-02-01, which we will change to 1258 4820 3030. Click WRITE ALL, turn the ignition switch off and on, click stop, and that is it! There are reports of the need to use CODE: 1258 6820 3050 for vehicles equipt with Copilot 360, but this is something that I have not been able to verify!

Step # 2 - Click the configuration TAB, go to the ABS option, click play, find CRUISE CONTROL, double click, and choose "Option #2 Cruise Control" from the drop-down menu. Click write, turn the ignition switch off and on, click stop, and you are done! I have one report that this worked on a HYBRID!

Step #3 - Click the configuration TAB, and go to the BdyCM Module Configuration (as BUILT format). Click it, click play, click ok on the warning, and go to section 726-04-05 In my programming, I only changed the last box to 8872! It has been reported and recommended that HYBRIDS use CODE: CB28 8141 8873

I hope this is of help. Feel free to comment!
