Disable BMS next gen problem
Posted: Wed May 03, 2023 8:34 am
So ive decided to turn off the BMS on my next gen ranger which i did through the non asbuilt selections in the BMS, and also turned the BMS type from LIN to none to stop the charge system service alert coming on the dash. I have done this because i run a dcdc in my caravan and one in the tub for a dual battery and didn't want to run ignition wires to the dcdc's, and also it stops the start/stop system functioning which is n added bonus.
My problem is, now it wont remote start from the ford pass app and i have received a notification in the app that it has entered deep sleep and needs to be charged, which it doesnt as its charging at 14v and the car starts fine. Does anyone know if the deep sleep function can be turned off (i found a reference to it being possible in the APIM but not sure about that) or if there is another work around to having the BMS disabled but still being able to use the start function from the app?
Any advice would be appreciated.
