Jetboy47 Posted October 17, 2025 Report Share Posted October 17, 2025 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. 2 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, 2025 Report Share Posted October 21, 2025 (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.

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! 3 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...
jd2cylman Posted November 17, 2025 Report Share Posted November 17, 2025 Installed my Auto stop/start eliminator today finally. Had a little trouble with the shifter bezel, but it finally agreed to come loose peacefully. Swapped in the Eliminator and works as intended. Thanks @Snoking ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy47 Posted November 18, 2025 Report Share Posted November 18, 2025 I installed the eliminator a week ago. No problems installing it. As others have mentioned it works as intended. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnect that and your problem is solved. I did this a year ago on my ST, no auto start stop anymore, and noother issues whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkiST Posted Monday at 03:47 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:47 AM @Jetboy47 - could you share code address in ForScan you used to disable that bloody start-stop BS? I have ST 2022 and looking to get rid of SS as hell. No, i'm not going to use "elimintaor". Partially because importing it to europe will add even more $ to already ever priced gadget IMHO. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy47 Posted Wednesday at 07:02 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:02 PM WilkiST, I probably have it saved somewhere I'll have to look it up, but the problem was it disables BMS and every single time you start the vehicle you get a warning that you have to acknowledge because the of this. I know you don't like the idea, but honestly one of the best things I did was install it. It took all of five minutes and it works as advertised.

johnmarkp Posted Wednesday at 11:19 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:19 PM I used the Forscan method that Omar posted in this thread on June 12 of 2021. No start stop and no BMS warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago I am ordering the Start Stop eliminator. Cannot wait to install it and be done with the Start Stop BS. Pisses me off every time I start the vehicle and forget to turn it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDookie54 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago You will love it but occasionally you will inadvertently hit the switch placing misc stuff on the console or just tapping it. It remembers last position til you hit it again. Switch is fool proof, drivers are not. At least I fit into that category. It attaches to in off switch and you use that to toggle on and off as before but it stays where you left it thru ignition cycles til you hit it again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy47 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago I never inadvertently hit it, no issue for me and I like that it remembers the last position. If you ever want to use it for some reason, or take it into Ford it is can be act as it normally would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wubster100 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I don't see how the PSCM AsBuilt is the same from the 2020 F-150 and the 2019-2024 Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Even though I hate it and will never use it, I do like having the ability to turn it on or off. \ Part of my start up process is push the start button, push the brake release button and disable the ASS 🤣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmarkp Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I think it is reasonable to think that the full PSCM AsBuilt is different between models. However it is not unreasonable to think that many sections are the same. Code is often recycled. Not need to re-type all the code needed when you have a large percentage of it already written. Most of the hardware used in the electrical system is the same. With each modules firmware customized for the model it is used in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
