EPA Administration Hints At Imminent Auto Start-Stop Change

[`Stress01]

I'm pretty sure its not the battery or the outside temperature. I just got the car in September, it only has 2100 miles on it, it been in the 60's the last 3 days, the altitude is not the problem, I live in the Chicago area, and I haven't had the heat on in the car.

I don’t mean the battery was bad (although there are defective batteries even right out of the factory)

Mine does the same as yours in warm temps like that, no heat on, etc. I can tell the battery has a low state of charge when the ASS stops working.

These Bronco Sports have to be driven sufficiently enough or kept on a battery maintainer weekly - needed to keep the battery sufficiently charged

EDITED: you have a 2025 which I believe displays battery voltage in the instrument cluster when configured to do so, you may not need to buy one of the devices shown below

Get yourself either of these and see what the battery voltage is when it’s being driven - let us know the typical voltage you see while driving and check the voltage drop when you shut it off after about 30 seconds to a minute

Dude, I have a 2025 BL and I haven't seen where you can monitor battery voltage.

I could be missing the boat on that somehow though.

Other’s have posted battery voltage is one of the selectable items

Try this:
“Gauges are only available in Sport and Offroad mode”

I don’t know if the voltmeter gauge remains active for a short time after shutting off the vehicle or is only available when the vehicle is running
