SEIC switch while driving
I can't find the topic but awhile back there was talk related to the SEIC or BCP option preventing regen if the switch was on and since reading it, I followed that advice.
I've seen the "cleaning exhaust filter" both with the BCP switch on awhile back and today with the SEIC switch on while driving.
I knew I was due for a regen very soon so I flipped it on SEIC before I left the house this morning and sure enough, I got lucky (a mile from the office).
No sense in pushing our luck and may as well leave the switches off but having them on doesn't seem to create an issue and I've not seen talk of this in the manual.
Nothing exciting but I wanted to post anyways.

Stationary Elevated Idle Control - It's not an existing switch. You usually have to wire it in to the aux switches or something. Not sure how it works on the 2011, but a buddy of mine has it hooked up on an older Ford. Pretty simple to do from what he told me. But you shouldn't need this unless you are using PTO or something. BCP is battery charge protection.

I suppose it depends on how things are wired, but my SEIC won't work unless the emergency brake is applied. If the switch is flipped without the e-brake, then nothing happens. Therefore I would assume it wouldn't have any effect on any systems if activated while driving.

When the 2008's came out, owners had to change their way of thinking and make sure the switch was off (which is what I had read) and that may be the case with the 2008-2010 models.
Also, if a regen has been running for several miles it will continue to run with SEIC while parked.
I'm not sure how good it is for the truck since driving down the highway at 55+ MPH helps keep things cooled down simply from airflow but I've done it.
For the 2011 models, you wire a resistor to an AUX switch (AUX4 recommended) with one of the wires (I forget the color code) and depending on the ohms of the resistor will depend on the RPM's of the idle.
