disabling auto start/stop with forscan...

Left Coast Geek said:

so, on my 2019 Limited Stealth, I took a stab at disabling Auto Start/Stop with Forscan, but it triggers a error at startup about 'Check Charging System Soon' or something. meh.

First, I tried following someone elses howto that had me putting hex codes into various 'AS BUILT' things, but my IPC codes didn't match his, so I backed out what I'd changed on the BdyCM and FCIM. Then I just went into the BdyCM (not AS BUILT) and instead of hex codes, its a simple 'AutoStart/Stop disable' and it seemed to work, but throws the Check Charging error every startup. No DTC's in any modules.

People have various results with this, mostly successful. That said, you are essentially deactivating the Battery Control Module (BCM) which actively monitors and charges the battery as well as communicating with the PCM, etc. Proper way IMO is to get an eliminator such as Autostop Eliminator, while allowing the BCM to continue to do its thing. The kit works well and is seemless.
