Auto Stop-Start in SPORT Mode?? WTH?

[Blue2024XLT]

Dunno if its just the cold weather here in KC but the past few days when Im in SPORT mode my auto stop/start was activated. any one else have this issue? It did correct itself after afew cycles from other drives modes back to sport.

Can you clarify? Did you turn off the SS, and it reactivated when you switched to Sport mode? Or has SS automatically been turned off when you go to Sport mode, but now it is different? Do you have a SS eliminator device that's being defeated when you go to Sport?

FYI, my experience and understanding is that SS doesn't care which driving mode you're in. It is on unless you turn it off.

SS deactivates in Sport, I’m also pretty sure it deactivates in towing mode or when you have Max A/C on. At least that’s how Fords usually worked. I know mine is deactivated in Sport.

I run sport 99% of the time and start/stop is always disabled automatically.

I ordered a bypass from Amazon for $99.00. Simple 5 min. install. Problem solved!

The procal tune makes it so the ECU retains auto S/S settings from what I've heard.

i hope so. mine should be here tomorrow. i was going to ask the dealer when they did the install if they could leave it off

From what I've gathered I don't think they actually need to do anything. The tune just makes it so the truck retains last auto S/S settings. Not 100% sure but I think that's it.

Thats cool. I want to ask if i can watch what they do. I know its really nothing but hit some buttons but i would like to watch the hook up and how to choose settings amd stuff

I have the Ford ProCal tune and my S/S setting isn't retained from the last drive.
