Anyone had the auto-stop/start issues?

Thanks - That helps as trying to decide if I should use Forscan for it or not. No way I am tearing into the dash to disable it

I have a OB 23 and Forscan did not work to disable it.

yes - I had not tried, but read the same and waiting to hear success from people if they ever get it working again

Same here. 23 OB and didForScan like the forum cheat sheet told me, but to no avail.

Yes - If anyone gets Forscan working again for disabling auto-start/stop for the 2023 models, please post

Not hearing of any issues at all yet where someone had an alternator problem or something where battery was low and they were left stranded, etc.

I was still going to disable through Forscan, but it appears as if Forscan has changed as the new setting for 2023s is 023A and reading of multiple people now having trouble making changes through latest version of Forscan 2.3.53

Any luck same issue here with 023A

I will probably dive into it disabling it without having to constantly hit the button.

As my old man woulda said, "that's why I had you son". lol

If you don't mind the cost, it seems like you want the Ford Performance ProCal, which disables it but also provides other benefits, including better gas mileage. The trade off is using more expensive gas. Also, the 2023 MY is having an issue installing, so I currently have one, but can't install it until end of July (from what I understand).

I have not read of anyone being able to disable

Any luck same issue here with 023A

I have not heard of anyone being able to disable it on the newer 2023 Broncos through Forscan or any other OBD tool. For me, the risk-reward is not worth some of the other options where you need to take dash apart and just hoping to hear of an update that can be done through OBD. If anyone hears of anything working with the newer Broncos that have 023A in Forscan, please post

Auto stop-start just left me stranded in middle of road at night

YEA! I have had a start stop issue.

The damn thing keeps turning my car off! What a pos that thing is.

I know the the auto-stop/start works fine for most everyone, but I am not the biggest fan. For me the fuel savings benefits are negligible and I know there are multiple threads where people talk about not liking it. I am debating if I should disable it permanently(sounds like Forscan might not be best method?), but I am disabling double-honk. All it takes is just a handful of people telling me they had any kind of issue, for any reason, and I will probably dive into it disabling it without having to constantly hit the button. I am sure a lot of people will want to respond saying never had an issue, and that is where I am as well, but looking for anyone that has had or heard about people having a restart/starter/battery issue with their Bronco that left them dead in an intersection, etc.

Other than I don't like it. I wish it would go away

If anyone ever finds a new Forscan method to disable Auto-Start/Stop, please post. I know the Forscan change worked fine for older Broncos, but multiple posts have indicated the Forscan updates no longer work with the newer 2023 and 24 Broncos.

Has anyone just pulled the little plug on the + side of the battery? I saw a video of it being done and it disables the auto/start stop function. My only concern is “is that all it does?”

It’ll cause other issues.
