Any 2022's Autostop Eliminated and/or FORScan'd yet
- Thread starter UpinBst
- Start date
@Blue Beast , so that WAS it!! Frak yeah!!
Kind of off topic but is it possible to change the startup screen to match the shut down screen? Start up only says Ford Perfomance. Shut down has the ST logo above Ford performance. I want them both to show the ST logo. I found the screen settings in Forscan but it doesnt seem to allow me to change just the start up.
I have it disabled on my 2017 RS and one of the main reasons I will be doing it on the 2022 EX-ST for me is this....
First: It's a total gimmick used to pass EPA standards.
Second: It is not good for the longevity of parts.
Third: Imagine this scenario. Let's say you are driving heavy footed, you're in sport mode and your turbos are spooling, a lot.
Now you come to a red light and you stop, your engine shuts off because of auto start/stop, all your major electronics also shut off except for the basic parts.
Effectively what is happening right now is that you are no longer cooling your turbos, they are sitting there hot and everything else around them is hot as well.
If you do this a lot, you can damage your turbos.
(This is under the assumption that the turbo functions the same way as in the 2017 RS)

Ok...so am I missing something? I was able to turn off the hyper flash no problem, and I disabled the auto shut off...but this morning as I pulled out of my garage and came to first stop sign...it shut off. Anyone have more experience with this to confirm the process? Should I just change the line code?
I believe it just turns it off as if you were pressing the button assuming you left it in the off position. I could change it but the update gave an error. Others have changed it only to have it come back. I'm guess it is forced back on for mpg ratings even if you turn it off. I believe turning it off in the tune is permanent but wouldn't bet my first born on that.
The autostop eliminator haw worked flawlessly since I installed it.
