My Ranger is a week old, and the Auto Start/Stop hasn't engaged yet. I don't really want it to, but just curious why it isn't working.

My guess is you bought one of the Special Edition Rangers. Congratulations on your good fortune!
Only a handful made that will do that.
Probably so they could stay within EPA regulations.

Brad, I know you want to break it in slowly but you have to go faster than 3 mph to activate this feature. ?

Looking over all of these conditions, it is a wonder that it engages at all!
I scanned that before I asked. Didn’t see about Defrost. It’s been on since I got the truck. I turned it off and it worked. Now I have to keep it on forever.

I wish my auto start/stop would disengage! I hate that feature!

Get Forscan and that along with many other things can be tweaked to your hearts desire! https://forscan.org/home.html

I read it shuts off in sport mode. I have an aftermarket tune so mine is shut off. Last summer it kicked in all the time.

If you want to know why or why ASS is enabled/disabled, you can go into the fuel economy menu in the left hand screen and there is an option to show you why it is, or is not currently active.

yes, it shuts off in sport mode. Good excuse to drive a little frisky.

This has not worked on my truck for several months and the wife and I kinda miss it. Doesn’t seem to be any kind of unusual event that might cause this.

The button works as expected with the dash message showing on/off when the button is pushed. Fuel menu shows normal operation.

The sensor is connected at the battery.

Ideas to try before a trip to the dealer?
