Strictly a guess...but probably anytime the truck is running and the gear lever is in Park.

This has always been a question for us but idle time is more than just in park; has to be.
There is no way on this great earth that I've idled in [P] as much as my truck reports.
My guess is any time the wheels aren't moving but there could be more to it than that.
Such as, does it count while slowly moving (at idle) because of a wreck or pulling a float in a parade? idk...
I'll look at my numbers tomorrow.

Whatever the case, it does not appear that there is a clear answer verified yet.

I will have to look at my numbers again to get exact numbers, but I believe I am around 300 some engine hours and 44 idle hours. Mileage is about 13,200.
I would be curious if the high idle mod kicks the engine out of racking up idle time?? Anyone want to let their truck idle for a few hours each way to try?

Miles 16,000
Hours 423
Idle Hours 52
I am not sure how the idle hours are accumulated. I never have this truck sitting and idling anywhere. Obviously I am doing some type of condition to have the computer log idle.
Also, does anyone know whether the total hours are cumulative and include the idle hours in the summary?
