fastback89 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I apologize if this topic has been beat to death but just wanted to be certain of the Forscan codes to turn off Auto Start Stop on my 20 ST. I have not found anyone who has successfully done this on a 2020, I'm assuming it's the same as a 19 but just wanted to be sure.

Snoking Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 If I do it, on our new 2020 Edge ST will be with this. https://www.autostopeliminator.com/products/2019-ford-edge-autostop-eliminator?variant=27561606807616 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 It’s not a big deal if you just let it work for a few weeks. You’ll forget it’s there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingernip Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I love the stop start feature. I even will roll down the windows and endure a bit of heat rather than run the A/C and have climate control force an early re-start while sitting at a traffic light. Ill sit and hold the brake down rather than put it in park when dropping off a passenger for a quick errand too. Tip: To avoid the auto stop and restart when shifting to park just turn off the car without going to park. it will automatically shift into park.

I knew it disabled the BMS, I was not aware of the charging system issue. I did this on my 18 Raptor and have never experienced any problems. I'll just leave it go until I research this further.

That video is not true. You only disable the BMS if that's how you program the car... If you don't know what you are doing, sure that's when undesirable things happen. But as someone who understands how vehicle systems and communication works, plugging a random device into my car's network is the last thing I would ever do. Having some random programmer send broadcast messages startup is how you confuse the car and have "odd" behaviors - properly disabling the stop/start features via FORScan or UCDS is not the 'wrong way'. Do your research everyone, don't believe what one out-of-touch shop says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us just refuse to be "nudged" by Obama era regulations. Point was you decided you hated it without even giving it a chance. I hated it the first time I drove one but after owning my f150 for 2 weeks it’s not an issue. Sorta like the “has to be a V8” ecoboost haters that have never even driven one.

Point is you have no idea. We also have a 2019 Honda Odyssey and that has it as well, and I FREAKIN HATE it. Instead of posting crap, why don't people just move on by when someone doesn't like what they do. Edited August 1, 2020 by FINFAN3DP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINFAN3DP Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Sorry all you eco loving, mpg loving, crazy Edge owners! The auto stop eliminator came today. Installed it in less than 15 minutes! Works great! One thing i did note is the display to the left of the speedo comes up and tells you it is off everytime you start the car. A little annoying, but it goes away. NOT nearly annoying as the car shutting off everytime you hit a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big deal. This feature sucks. It has already messed up my steering wheel because I turned the wheel when the car was "off" and now it makes a click when I turn the wheel. 2k miles on the clock. If you're going to introduce a stupid feature like this that doesn't provide any benefit, it should be foolproof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
