I just turn mine off with the parking brake each time it gets started, the start/stop feature is really not good for your vehicle there is lots of research out there it’s very hard on vehicle components and the engine itself

Please post this research.

As already mentioned, disabling start stop in the BMS settings on FORscan will give you a check charging system message at start up every time.  Saw this first hand as it was attempt #1 on my part.

 

Attempt #2 was disabling it in the IPCM module and all that did was eliminate the ASS disabled message on the cluster.

 

Going to try the method that @omar302posted and see what happens.  My gut feeling says this is the answer.

 

On another note, I have disabled the double horn with engine running and key out, enabled fog lights with hi beams on, adjusted quick blink from 3 to 6 flashes and something else.  A couple of things I wanted to change were already set to where I wanted them.  I doubt the previous owner did it as he was an elderly fellow most likely not interested in screwing around with this kind of stuff.

 

Still getting to know and learn about my recently acquired 2022 Elite and put together a mod and maintenance list.
