thanks, I saw that but have only wiped it with my finger, but will do this more thorough one soon.

Hi, I bought a 2020 Edge Titanium back in February.  The dealer I bought it from is two hours away and so that is why I don't just take it to them to look at.  My problem is that about every 2 or 3 weeks the check engine light comes on.  I have a code reader and it is saying that there is a very small leak in my evap, I erase the code but it comes back like I said.  I don't think it is my gas cap since it doesn't have a cap.  Is the only way to find a leak to do a smoke test at the car shop?  I don't want to spend money replacing parts that are okay. thanks for any help.

When it is that hot (I live in Tucson) it won't stop. But when it is 85 degrees and the sun is beating down in through the windshield and it is blowing warm air, it gets annoying. There is a list of things that are required for it to actually stop. Ambient Temperature of moderate is all it says, and also cabin temperature is checked if it is sufficiently cooled (or heated). Defroster on will disable it, and coolant needs to be up to temp (which happens in 1 minute or less year around here).

I did not know that having the defroster on disables it, that would make sense, because it is always on during cold months just like air is on in warm months, I almost never have windows open.  Maybe that is my problem.  I will have to turn it off and see, thanks

I think auto start stop is nothing more than a way to prematurely wear out your battery, starter and flywheel ring gear. You don't save any fuel and it is nothing more than a scam. Be glad it does not work. In the end, you will save money.

Resetting the BMS with an old battery is not what you should do. That tricks it into thinking that is the new full battery, and if it would continue auto start/stop eventually it won't restart.

 

You do not need to bypass the BMS when charging or jump starting, use the post on the shock tower for the negative cable.

 

I let my 2017 Escape battery go from 450 CCA (auto start/stop disabled at that point) to 225 CCA, it still started fine (but no auto start/stop), but I couldn't listen the radio with the engine off. I carried a jump box with me, but I replaced it once another driver started driving it again and we went on a long trip. Auto start/stop didn't start working with new battery until BMS reset, but I could listen to music without it turning off immediately.

 Thanks for the info.  I think using the post on the shock tower is an example of by passing the negative post; you have to be on the other side of the BMS modual.

thanks for the replies.  There is a popular Ford mechanic on YouTube that was showing that when you charge your battery, you have to connect the negative terminal on the side of the BMS module that is on the other side from the battery post.  Otherwise the computer doesn't see it as charging.  I think it will eventually and even if you don't you are still actually charging the battery.  But on cars like the escape and edge I think that is why they have a negative connection that has easy access.  

Anyway, I have done the high beam on off 5 times and push the brake pedal three times routine to reset the BMS.  The next day the auto stop might work but won't last the entire day.  I guess this is what happens when politicians tell car manufacturers how to make cars.

Hi, I have a 2017 Escape and and 2020 Edge Titanium.  The auto stop/start feature doesn't work in either of these cars.  On the one hand that is okay.  On the other hand it tells me something is wrong.  The Escape never worked when I bought it at 2 or 3 years old.  It worked for about a week that summer (I bought it in Jan.) then stopped and then again when I drove it out to Utah (I live in PA).  But after a day or two back home, it stopped.  I understand that everything has to be charging properly for it to work and the battery and alternator has been checked and are fine.  I drive this a lot and often 45 minutes to an hour to work and then back.  It just seems to me that this option is useless if normal driving doesn't charge it.

My Edge is the same.  I bought it a couple of hours away from my house.  by the time I got home it had started working but after a few days it stopped.  My wife takes this to work which is only a mile down the road, so I know that people will say that that is why.  But we also drive this for several miles 2 or 3 times a week.  So if it can't stay charged then it seems to me to be poorly designed.  Does anyone have any more info for me?  Do all manufactures have the same problems as Ford?  thanks

thanks for the help.  You are right, it is a se, I think I was assuming a sel since it had the 2.0 and a tow package.  Anyway, I did use the Cyanlabs to update it to 3.4.  I saw that Cyanlabs newest update was the same as on Ford's website.  It just dawned on me that if I use Cyanlabs update I will also upgrade navigation on both cars, so it seems it would be best to use theirs.

Hi.  I have a 2020 ford edge titanium and a 2017 sel escape.  They both have sync 3.4 but I guess I didn't tell Ford that I upgraded the escape and so it sees it as having just an old 3.0 version on my ford website.  I have downloaded the 3.4 update for the edge and was wondering if that will work for the escape or do I have to find software only for an escape?  thanks for any help.

Hi, I have had my 2015 Titanium for about a month.  The only thing that doesn't seem right is that right at 75 or 76 mph a hum starts somewhere on the passenger side towards the dash or front wheel area.  We haven't had it at speed for more than 45 minutes or so and so far the sound lasts for a minute maybe and then stops.  It might come back but only for a bit, but it starts off like clockwork at 75 mph.  It remains constant if I go faster and seems to stop after a bit.  Does anyone have a clue to what this could be?  My first thought was the turbo, but it only has 56,000 so I hope that isn't it.  thanks for any help.

Okay, thanks, funny that it isn't included in the manual but I guess the picture more or less explains it.

Hi Everyone. Just picked up a 2015 Titanium yesterday and love it.  I tried to upload photos of it and even though they are have of the 4 mg limit, it says the files are too large.  Can anyone help me?  It is a real looker, lol.

Hi Everyone,

I just picked up a 2015 Titanium yesterday.  So far I love it but there is one button that I have not found in the manual or online.  It is just below the park assist button.  It also has a P and then radar going off to the side.  Can anyone tell me what that does?  thanks
