Any Forscan mod to engage parking brake when parked?

[ytwytw]

Is it possible to engage parking brake when parked?

It's super annoying for me that the truck move a little bit when parked and parking brake not engaged

Any idea which bits and bytes in forscan can make it happen?

I don't know about a ForScan fix but my solution is to hold the brake while shutting down and releasing it gently until the parking pawl takes over. My driveway is in a slight incline and it bounces a little if I don't do this. This is the exact same behavior as my last ICE F150.

I think I had seen somewhere that Ford was aware that this is a highly requested feature. Maybe someday we will have the option to auto engage the parking brake.

Haha yeah my driveway has a slight incline, and the inclined slope is uneven... if I park close to the EVSE on the wall, I have to manually pull the parking brake lever to set it, but if I park just one foot+ back toward the street, the parking brake sets itself automatically as I shut the truck down. Must be a tilt sensor in there somewhere...

So if true, the task for ForScan programmers would be to locate the input parameters for that hidden parking brake-connected tilt sensor and turn the tilt input to PERMANENT ON, or something similar. That would indicate to the truck's tilt sensor that any parking stop is on an incline steep enough to auto-engage the parking brake.
