Jetboy47 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 I was able to disable the Auto Start/Stop with the Forscan on my 2023 ST. It had a separate line in the easier worded section just for it labeled something like BSM / Auto Start Stop. There were other BSM items that you could modify so I believe it was just doing that and not disabling the entire BSM module. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BMS will get disabled when you turn auto stop start off in FORScan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another way in ForScan to disable auto start/stop without affecting the BMS. Posted it earlier here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy47 Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 (edited) Yes unfortunately you are right Wubster100. The vehicle would bring up a warning about the battery every time I started the vehicle. I ended up putting it back. Thanks omar302, I will give this a try and see how it goes and let you know. I guess another question I have is should I do a BMS reset since I disabled it and then enabled it back? It is a very new battery, about one month old.

Generally, you do not want to reset the BMS unless the battery has been replaced. However, your battery is newer, so it would not hurt to reset the BMS.

Works perfectly. I wish I could remember what it's called and where I got it but it's a three to five min install w/zero hassle. I Googled it. Like my better half, Google knows Everything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered mine tonight for my 2024 Edge. I use computer service tools for work, but decided this was easier for me. There might be other things I'd be tempted to toggle off, but this is the only one that is on my priority list currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
