Someone found Start/Stop Disable?

[MRxGREEN]

The way I read it is Ford disabled the auto start/stop if the truck has a 400W subwoofer installed from the factory. The Forscan tweak tells the truck it has the factory 400W sub, even if it doesn't, and therefore it disables the start/stop.

What you've added to your truck, or what wattage it is means nothing in that context.

I have read it tricks it into thinking 400w sub is connected. But why would Ford disable start/stop if they install a sub?

Why so much hate towards the stop/start feature? I know it can be jerky, but is it really that bad?

If I was driving a Fusion or Edge, I wouldn't mind it. I'd deal with it. But I am driving a performance vehicle.

I have driven lots of cars with it and I always turn it off immediately. It feels unnatural and is noticeable.

I assume they thought too much draw on the battery with the engine off would cause problems restarting.

Can someone recommend which cable they're using for Forscan? Thanks

I use this. Works fine on my 2013.

at least me and Guy are running a Kenwood amp, mine at 300w, his pushing 200 (over ? 4 ohms? )



stop/start still functions. Maybe 300 isn’t enough load, but I’ve been able to get a temporary suppression by listening to tunes while washing / drying the truck. I get about 15-20 minutes of drive time with no stop start ; reason is charging.



YMMV

I have a 600 watt amp installed and start/stop functions fine

Turned of the auto start/stop with Forscan today and couldn't be happier.

Was it the BCM 726-48-02 x0xx-xxxx-xxxx that did the trick?

Is it ALWAYS disabled or can you enable it somehow in the menu somewhere?

I don't fully understand the second part of that video. What does disabling the switch do? What happens if you don't apply that second change?

That's the one. It is always disabled.

Curious, how effective is auto start/stop on mpg? I know it depends on traffic pattern, but how much is it suppose to save typically?
