Auto Start/Stop Disabled?

[Osco]

If you are in sport mode, it is disabled.

According to the owners manual, it gets enabled after the following conditions are met:

The system is enabled every time you start your vehicle if the following conditions are
met:
• You do not press the Auto-Start-Stop button.
• Your vehicle exceeds an initial speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) after the vehicle initially starts.
• Your vehicle is stopped.
• Your foot is on the brake pedal.
• The transmission is in drive (D).
• The driver door is closed.
• There is adequate brake vacuum.
• The interior compartment has cooled or warmed to an acceptable level.
• The front windshield defroster is off.
• The steering wheel is not being turned.
• The vehicle is not on a steep road slope.
• The battery is within optimal operating conditions, such as battery state of
charge and temperature in range.
• The engine coolant is at operating temperature.
• Your vehicle is not being driven at a high altitude.
• The ambient temperature is moderate.

You should feel lucky it doesn’t work.

Agreed. I can't stand that option. I hit that disable button soon as I hit the start button.

In the Ranger, there's a plug to the negative side of the battery that some have un-plugged and it stopped the SS feature. It's the battery management feature and basically disables the SS feature if it detects your battery is low. Disconnecting basically tells it it's always low and disables it. It looks like there is a plug/clip attached to the neg battery that might be similar.

If someone does this, please post a picture.

Here it is on the Ranger, skip to 6.30 to see the clip.



Do you have a similar clip here:

So all we have to do is disconnect plug at battery and annoying start stop is disabled?

It monitors your battery so it won't stop then not have enough juice to start again, leaving you stranded in traffic.

There are some on the ranger site that have done this for months with no issues.

That silver square with the Bar Code , where its plugged into ,almost looks like a Relay. Might be some kind of Logic board , but the SW on that bar code may be a clue or just a Ford designation , interesting .

Well, worth a shot. When forscan is available that can be used. Sorry for not providing a similar result as the Ranger, sure looked like the same setup.
