It's very ironic how life works sometimes. I watched this video two days ago. Yesterday one of my friends mentioned that he disabled his start-stop (ironically, a 2016 2wd, 2.7EB model) after ages of trying to figure out how. I asked him if he bought the 7-way tester and left it plugged in and he stated that that method did not work for him. He saw a video online about a tech unplugging a wire. I stopped him, found this video on my phone, and had him watch it. It's plugged in again and he'll not be unplugging it in the future. Thanks, Rich!

This is very good information, thank you for the video. The auto start/stop is highly annoying, and unfortunately it is a gimmick to game the bs EPA ratings for lower mpg vehicles. Any increase in fuel economy in real world use is minimal to nonexistant, and this current design trend is a disservice to the actual fuel economy ratings of these vehicles. So who loses? We, the consumers, who are forced to endure the ideology of people who think they know better than us.

I totally agreed with the maker of this video and he just got one more thumbs-up from me. Ford SHOULD provides their customers an option to permanently disable this STUPID function which is automatically re-enabled by the computer on the next engine restart. I own a 2020 Ford Ranger. To permanently disable Auto Start Stop function, I plugged a tiny 0.5 watt LED night light into the 110-volt outlet on the rear of the center console. No more stops and restarts. Note that the Auto Start Stop function is not enabled IF an electrical accessory is turned on or plugged in. This is mentioned on page 145 in 2020 Ford Ranger Owner's Manual. This should work for other Ford SUV and pickup trucks as well.

I have 2018 F150 Lariat. I used FORSCAN to disable the Auto-Stop. I hated that feature. The sales guy forgot to tell me about it. When I left the dealership, it auto-stopped on me at the traffic light in front of the dealership. I thought the truck died, so I pushed the start button and got really confused. Anyways, somehow I figured out what was happening and went on my way. First thing I did, was to figure out how to disable that feature (other than to remember to pressing the button every time I start the truck). Anyways, I found FORSCAN and also enabled my mirrors to fold when I park and arm the truck, and did some customs to the navi screen. I tried to disable the passenger seat belt minder (because I place my EDC backpack in the passenger seat and it thinks there's a passenger there). I did the FORSCAN, but it would eventually start chiming again. I just finally kept that belt locked.

This is a nightmare on many brands. Never heard of this way, always heard of people using the button module that when powered up it would act to click the button to turn it off after so many seconds. They need to allow this to be disabled until turned back on in settings. It won't effect EPA numbers because they can disclaimer that it gets that while using the system and turning it off can change performance.

I hope you’re trying to be sarcastic for job protection purposes. This is an excellent way to disable the stop/stop !! I realize as a ford mechanic they do not pay very well on repair costs but customer related this is a great way to quit the start stop if applying a trailer adapter is not favorable. It’s simple, unplug it everything works except the trailer brakes and auto start/ stop . If you need the trailer lights then plug back in. Maybe, possibly some models have other features involved but I have a 2018 f-150 XLT (big screen , heated seats, locking tailgate , door lock controls ect) unplugging that particular plug ONLY effects the auto start / stop and trailer brakes. I do not haul a trailer so therefore this was the best option for me. If in doubt, refer to your electronic schematics and find out for yourself. Sorry you had to waste time on diagnosis if you didn’t already realize this was an easy fix…

Well, yes the Auto Start/Stop is a PITA especially if you have mostly short distance and city driving with lots of stops and red lights. The engine is not even getting warm and all these cold starts cannot be good for the engine and nature as well. Too bad it is required by the law so that the manufacturer can get the required ratings to advertise with. Also customer is paying less taxes here since it is partially emission based. I just use the "Auto Start/Stop Disable button" each time I start my vehicle. Nothing easier than that. That way the engine gets a chance to get warm and the related parts get a better life expectancy. Ford introduced the Start/Stop feature but it seems they failed to also put in stronger/more reliable starters for higher wear. I have read of a good amount failing rather early. Do you see any of that in NA models? Disabling this feature makes me think of people doing everything to disable the seatbelt reminder chime because they don't like to wear a seat belt. Although later one is more like applying for the Darwin Award.

ASS mode is for the manufacture not the person who OWNS the vehicle. The system, as you've noted with your billable time in labor troubleshooting, isn't free. It costs money and that's to the OWNER, not the tech, not the manufacturer. It's a system which can/will fail. I discovered this on a 2017 I bought. Wasn't informed about this system. Was unaware of it. Shutdown happened almost immediately. KZitem to the rescue. As you state, correctly, unplugging the connector did have other effects ... no trailer lights on my XLT. SMH!!!! You seem to be a great tech and I appreciate those. Withhold the sermon about warranty. I never want a warranty. I want my product to perform as advertised ... which should include a significant change to the operation of the vehicle like THIS one. I operate with the connector unplugged. Works great lasts a long time. The 2 times a year my 1/2 ton pulls a little trailer, I reconnect it. Trailer towing is for one ton diesels (of which I have also). Have a great one out there.

If car manufacturers don’t come up with these stupid functions to appease the EPA then customers don’t need to go crazy trying to disable auto start stop. I don’t think you understand how annoying it is to drive a car with the engine constantly cutting out. And the rough restarts that jolts the car. The delay on restarts. Shut off engine for less than a second at a stop sign. Me constantly thinking about if the engine is gonna shut off this time I come to a stop. It is very tiring to think about all that. You spend all this money to buy a car that you can’t enjoy because auto start stop keeps intruding on the driving experience. The only time it is acceptable for an engine to cut out is in a hybrid drivetrain. I always have power to instantly take off from a stop on a hybrid but not with auto start stop. Auto start stop is a transitional technology that was never designed with the customer in mind. I think car manufacturers are getting very arrogant with pushing stupid shit on people and assuming people won’t complain or retaliate. I know Toyota don’t do these auto start stop nonsense on their cars because they know it’s useless. And guess what the Camry still gets very good mpg without it.

We disabled start-stop on a friend's F-150 with the 2.7 EB. It was simple. Pop the dash off and clip a jumper wire from ground/white to another one (purple or brown IIRC) and when the vehicle is started it believes the button was pushed. No codes, no side-effects, no nothing for six years now (it is a 2016 model). I also read that when a trailer is connected it disables the system. I believe you can plug in a device at the rear (forget what they're called) which lights up with brakes and makes the truck think a trailer is connected. I would never disconnect something though. That just seems like a bad idea. Also, can you tell me where this is mandated? Everything I have ever read stated that it was something manufacturers were doing to get better ratings from the EPA due to the stricter regulations. I did not know it had been mandated by the government. Have a great day, sir.

2021 Ford F-150 XLT Sport. My AUTO START/STOP has failed on its own. Icon (white)illuminates on the dashboard, but the engine never shuts off (icon never turns green). Now more problems have reared their ugly head. Interior lights only work occasionally, reverse sensor has changed notification tone, exterior perimeter lighting works occasionally. Dealer wants 3-5 days for analysis of the problems. I was told not to worry about it, it is a convenience option! New 2022 F-150's have this feature cancelled on the window sticker (Delete Auto Start/Stop -$50). Check it out.

So here's the thing you can either reset the BMS the battery monitor system and see if everything comes back by turning the key on but not starting the vehicle flashing the brights five times stepping on the brake three times and letting go and then watching the battery light flash a couple times about 10 seconds later and sometimes that brings everything back on board We've been having a lot of brand new truck battery issues where the vehicles with just three or 400 miles on them already have bad batteries

Bro, people are going to do whatever they want to their vehicle. Just because YOU "don't think it's a good idea" isn't enough justification for anyone to heed your advice. If a vehicle owner disables a module that costs you valuable diag. time, then charge the customer for it. If they disable their auto-start-stop by using an OBD-II tool or something that doesn't affect any other module, then good for them, at least they are smarter than the other guy. It all comes down to personal preference and choice.

@@FordBossMe I just read into it more and that plug is for the negative side sensor for the battery monitor system. Unplugging that puts the bms into a fault mode that keeps the charging system at full output non stop. It add additional strain to the engine(added drag from alternator) that will result in lower efficiency from the engine but not enough to worry about. With the bms in fault mode auto start stop won’t work as it thinks it needs to charge the battery even if the battery is fully charged. So really it's a bad idea as well.

The only thing this plug under the dash does is power the annoying stop start and the trailer lights that's it, if you're not towing a trailer you can leave it out, plug it back in if you're going to tow something, it works, I've never had an issue......secondly, I don't believe for a moment that this has anything to do with the "Environment", this constant stopping and starting your engine can NOT possibly be a good thing for your car, otherwise we would have been doing it with our keys for decades, it's been a known fact that you cause the most wear and tear on your car every time you start it, that's when it has the least amount of lubricant on its internal parts. Also, isn't it funny how you're seeing more cars just stopped at lights that won't start?. This is a useless feature just like the "Tire Pressure Sensor", it's a money grab, I've had five cars and trucks and not once did I have the TPS changed (not at just over $100.00 per tire) , it's all bullshit.

I appreciate the info but you sound more sympathetic to Ford than to customers. It sounds pretty unanimous that owners of vehicles do not want start stop activated by default upon start up. That's Ford's issue--not ours and you should be an advocate for consumers instead of taking into a more corporate shill mentality... And I mean that with as little offense as possible. This is a problem of Ford's creation. I don't see you commenting on the effects of start stop on starters, battery, engine, etc long term which will really suck once owners' warranties expire. The real advice should be, plug that sucker back in before you take it in for service. Or better yet, you personally should use this experience as a learning example and integrate it into your diagnostic process that way you won't have to waste time and threaten people with charging them for time. By the way I'm a body tech and I respect you guys but I think you need to rethink your role a bit unless you enjoy manufacturers telling you how to enjoy products you buy with your hard earned money.

Vehicle buyers are fed up with manufactures features that we have no use for. It's getting to the point that Ford is producing a Computer that has 4 wheels, and that the products are designed as a throw-a-way device. The day will soon come when Ford decides to stop support for the software that runs the vehicle, and at that point the value of the vehicle is now $0. You may not be able to drive the vehicle you paid for, yet Ford decides how long they will allow you to drive it. It will be a society that you will never own anything, and like it. You may be stuck with a vehicle you still making payments on yet the vehicle is no longer operates. Ford decided you are no longer allowed to drive the vehicle you own. I recall the airbag problem with my Ford Mustang 2008. A recall that occurred 3 times for airbag replacement. There were no replacements, yet the owner was give the only options to park the car, or take you chance that in an accident the airbag deployment might kill you from the metal fragments. Never was an option to turn off the airbag while waiting for a replacement airbag. Buying a new Ford is becoming more difficult. You either submit to total control by Ford and its ownership, or you keep your old model and hope their will be parts to keep it running. I expect to see customers to choose not to buy new, resulting in more like you would see in Cuba of automotive junk on wheels. Ford no longer is building Ford Tough, or Job One. Nothing like forced obsoletion while driving up the cost of owning and driving. I won't be a customer much longer, and it wont be in an electric vehicle.
