Ford Powerstroke Security Bypass Cable (2020-2022)

Compatibility

• Fits: 2020, 2021, 2022 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L Diesel Trucks

---

What It Does

Ford locked down these model years with a security gateway that blocks most aftermarket programmers and scan tools. This bypass cable gets around that gateway so you can hook up your tuner or diagnostic equipment and actually use it.

---

What You Need It For

• Loading custom performance tunes
• Running advanced diagnostics beyond basic code reading
• Accessing ECM and TCM parameters that the gateway normally blocks
• Using aftermarket tuning platforms on your truck

---

How It Works

The cable connects between your truck and your tuning device. It routes around the factory security gateway module that Ford installed to restrict access to the computer systems. Once installed, your programmer or scan tool can communicate with the truck like the gateway isn't there.

---

Installation

Connects to your truck's diagnostic system. Specific installation steps vary depending on your tuning platform.

---

Why These Trucks Need This

Starting in 2020, Ford added security gateway modules to Powerstroke trucks that block write access from aftermarket tools. You can still read basic codes with a regular scanner, but you cannot load tunes, clear codes or make programming changes without bypassing the gateway. This cable handles that.
