ECU changed now 0 hours

[fishforfun2]

I damaged my ecu on 2013 F150 4 Stroke and changed it out. Now my eng hours are back to zero. I only had 200 hours on it and want to add them back on. Can I just turn ignition on and leave it for 200 hours? Or disconnect anything like fuel pump so nothing gets damaged?

Leaving the key on for 200 hours won't mean much because the stored history will say you left the key on for 200 hour with no operation. That's if it works

Make a tag or label and attach it to the ECU saying the ECU was replaced at 200 hours.

OK thanks for your help.Dale

Is there a way to add hours without running motor for 200 hours? Shop repair?

I really doubt it.
ECU needs to see multiple things to start logging hours.

why do you need to do this so bad?

what did you do to the original ECU that killed it?
