UPDATE: How to Permanently deactivate your Bronco Auto Start-Stop through the dash for free.

[BroncoBuckaroo]

UPDATE: So I got up early before work and headed to my local Ford dealer where my buddy is a service advisor and he had a tech look at it real quick. The Stop Start symbol with the line through it is a real thing, but it means that there is an issue with the system, it’s not an actual way to deactivate the Start Stop. So a couple things that are common, in the video and my self I did this with the doors off (my doors are on right now). Start Stop is still deactivated. So if any of you have your doors off it - give it a try. He said it’s probably one of two things..either it’s a ”sequencing issue” meaning they might have not sequenced it during coding for the doors to be off and turning the Start Stop off at the display or it may be a chip issue we’re they used a different chip because of shortage and that particular chip didn’t handle the start stop through the display the same way it does through the manual button. He offered to reset it, but I said nooo.


Not sure if someone posted a how to video on how to permanently deactivate the Bronco Start-Stop function..I searched and didn’t see anything..sorry if already posted.

I thought I'd do this, until driving it. The a/s/s is so seamless... Don't even notice it.

I don’t think this is a thing? EPA won’t let you disable it that way IMO.

I asked that same question one time to someone in the know when the Porsche 911 went to this same auto start stop the Bronco has.

When Porsche first added the feature it would stay off with the push of a button, even after restarting the car. After a few years Porsche changed and the button had to be pressed each start up.

The explanation given to me was that the EPA testing was done with the auto start stop functioning and therefore reflected on the estimated widow sticker gas mileage. To have this mileage reflected on the sticker, it had to reset to a default “on” after each start up.

This could of corse be misrepresented but came from a very reputable source.

Is this guy trolling? I'm not even sure what he did but his ASS was off already so I'm skeptical.

I don’t know, but it does say “start stop disabled by user “ when you first do it on Bronco. But really adding any modification , bigger tires etc will change epa mileage. But thanks for sharing you experience with the start stop feature.

This didn’t do anything lol The auto start stop system was never disabled. The only reason it has a line through it is because it hasn’t met the requirements for it to be currently active. If you put it in drive and go down the road, it would still activate.
