Auto Start/Stop Disable -- Anybody Try This Method?

[Gregk]

Hi Guys,

New Mav owner (absolutely loving it!). I've been researching the hated A/S/S "feature" and how to disable it with FORscan. There seems to be a lot of confusion.

I found this post (also noted on this forum) related to Ford Bronco: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/disabled-auto-start-stop-with-forscan.3733/ . This involves changing: PSCM 730-03-01 xxxx xxxx 00-

1. Has anybody with a Maverick successfully tried this and had it work?

2. Were there any downsides (some people were concerned it would mess up other systems).

3. Have there been any other recent developments in turning off A/S/S with Forscan?

Thanks much!

There’s this little button near the gear shifter. It turns the auto start-stop off. UN FRICKING BELIEVABLE! WHO KNEW!!!

Weird... Mine doesn't have that. It also does this weird thing where it just keeps shutting down the engine and starting it back up at completely random times, in motion or at rest. Somehow the engine is off for up to ~80% of the distance traveled? It's really weird.

I think the OP just wants it permanently disabled. I personally hate the feature and would love to not have to hit the damn button every time.

Yes, I have one and love them. I've had them on multiple vehicles.

Here is the correct link for the adapter:

I was unaware this could be done in ForScan though.

Agreed. An extra 1 second out of my day to turn it off is outrageous!

We get it... you don't need or want one. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your input, Shakesbear…

However, this is the FORscan forum where we take unnatural delight in hacking our Mavs to save those precious seconds.

To answer your question: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...uto-start-stop-default-to-a-drive-mode.31556/

Also: just don't push the brake all the way down at a full stop. The computer looks at your pedal pressure to determine when to kick the engine back on or to prevent it from kicking on at every stop sign. With electric brakes, you don't need to hit the floor with your brakes at every light.

You must have the hybrid.

Bought one for our F-150 and works great!

The auto stop start feature never really bothered me. Now leaving the driving mode at the last used setting would be nice.
