One of the best videos for beginners.

I just disabled the start / stop on my 2020 F150, but for whatever reason, just re-writing the BCM in itself didn't work. Once I went into the FCIM and disabled the switch, the start / stop was then completely disabled. To each their own, but I purchased the extended license because I like to support the developers of the programs I use. Being able to permanently disable the most annoying feature on this truck is easily worth the price.

Something people need to keep in mind when they're using this..watch your battery voltage. The modules in these new vehicles are extremely voltage sensitive. They have a comfort zone, especially when it comes to programming. The vast majority of times, a vehicle is hooked up to battery sustainer when programming is done at the dealership. If your battery voltage starts dropping below threshold when you're in there re-writing things, you could potentially have issues. Whether you're programming, or performing diagnostics, always make sure you have proper battery voltage. It'll save you a lot of potential headaches.

Hopefully you’ll be able to upload your perfected settings to the replacement vehicle. That’ll be gratifying! Thanks for another well done video.

I find the Auto Start/Stop feature as a gas saving and safe driving tool. I have a 2017 F-150 and at 1st didn't like it but found that if you anticipate stops you can do so which allows the engine to stay on. To do this slowly apply the brakes until the truck comes to a stop. If for instance you are in bridge traffic just press on the brakes further and the engine will stop. Another bonus is you'll extend the life out of your brake pads!

Through a Ford engineering study that they did the auto start/stop saved between 1.9%-11% in new York city traffic. So unless your driving in that the amount your saving is less than 1mpg.

@@WICKEDAUTO1 I live on the coast, Gloucester, Ma to be exact. We have a drawbridge that separates Gloucester in two, an island side and the mainland. The Blynman Bridge avg. 10k openings per year making it one of the busiest in the world. Marine traffic has right of way and it's common to wait 15 minutes or more. Us locals are used to turning off our engines while waiting. I think Ford had us in mind when developing the Auto Start/Stop feature!

@@WICKEDAUTO1 1 mpg in a 26 gallon tank is about $5 per tank around here. It adds up if you drive in traffic most of the time. I think most people who complain about it have never seen traffic before and in that case they are perfectly justified. I bought my 2019 F150 used and this was already done. I am one of the few who want to re enable it. I think for most people if Ford just reversed the switch so it enables it rather than disables it, Ford would have a hit on their hands . . . then in the menu give you the option to reverse the switch so its on by default or vice versa. Now I just need to find where to get a copy of that spreadsheet. . . . OK this is an update . .. I found a spreadsheet but its not for my vehicle. If I use the before settings for the engine stop start (from this video) it thinks my truck is a 4 x 4 and since it is a 4 x 2 it throws a code. I need the stock settings for a F150 2WD for stop start.

nothing voids the warranty unless they can prove that whatever you did is what caused the problem. With forscan as long as you save your factory settings before making at changes, you can always change back to factory.

Shawn J I have a 19 platinum too, have you made any changes yet? I’ve tried, and so far there are a lot of modules that didn’t pop up for me. I changed the double honk when leaving the truck with it still running, and add the heated/cooled seats to the home screen. No my TPMS is displaying. Have you run into this yet?

New version of Forscan doesn't show any codes at all - it lists the specific items by name and you just go in and enable, disable, or choose any available option.

Hey man, when you changed that value for the auto start/stop what did it do? Because the notes don't say anything for the first code

silly question- i got a 19 lariat 3.5, two sons drove it and went out and got their own new 3.5s too- but XLTs...neither noticed till a couple weeks later, mine sounds like a v8, theirs dont...did some checking, 'enhanced engine sound' is fake v8 noise played thru the stereo system...sucks as its fake, but it does add to the 'bigbock feel' of driving te 3.5... I see in raptors it can be shut off with forscan- wondered if it could be turned on with XLT trim? oldest son drove mine again today, and swears the sound really made it 'feel' stronger... wonder if it could simply be turned on, or if stereo upgrade required...

Does your dealership give you grief for changing settings on your truck? I talked to my dealership and they told me, it would violate the warranties and they would not honor anything that breaks.

@WICKEDAUTO1

5 жыл бұрын

No they haven't at all, they knew from the very first visit that I changed stuff. And they also cannot, not honor the warranty just because of that depending on what you change of course. For instance doing the global windows...that has zero affect on anything else so if your engine stops running right they cant say its because of the window through forscan. Plus you can always put everything back to stock before you take it in.
