This may be due to someone using an aftermarket programmer to change the body control module (BCM) configuration to disable the auto start/stop system or perform other unsupported programming modifications. To correct this condition on F-150 and Bronco vehicles, download and run the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) application titled \"BCM-Charging System Configuration Correction\". Running this application will determine if the BCM configuration was modified by the customer and if so, provide the option to return the configuration back to factory settings. For other vehicle models exhibiting concerns related to unsupported aftermarket BCM programming, submit a Technical Support Request (TSR) requesting support to revert the BCM configuration","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035269-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035269-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11035269","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"fuel-system","name":"Fuel system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"BRONCO","year_from":2021,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_bronco","2022_ford_bronco","2023_ford_bronco","2024_ford_bronco","2025_ford_bronco","2026_ford_bronco"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"BRONCO SPORT","year_from":2025,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2025_ford_bronco-sport","2026_ford_bronco-sport"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"EDGE","year_from":2021,"year_to":2024,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_edge","2022_ford_edge","2023_ford_edge","2024_ford_edge"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","year_from":2023,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2023_ford_escape","2024_ford_escape","2025_ford_escape","2026_ford_escape"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPEDITION","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_expedition","2023_ford_expedition","2024_ford_expedition","2025_ford_expedition","2026_ford_expedition"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2024,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_ford_explorer","2025_ford_explorer","2026_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2021,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_f-150","2022_ford_f-150","2023_ford_f-150","2024_ford_f-150","2025_ford_f-150","2026_ford_f-150"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-250 SD","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_f-250","2023_ford_f-250","2024_ford_f-250","2025_ford_f-250","2026_ford_f-250"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-350 SD","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_f-350","2023_ford_f-350","2024_ford_f-350","2025_ford_f-350","2026_ford_f-350"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-450 SD","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_f-450","2023_ford_f-450","2024_ford_f-450","2025_ford_f-450","2026_ford_f-450"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-550 SD","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_f-550","2023_ford_f-550","2024_ford_f-550","2025_ford_f-550","2026_ford_f-550"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"MAVERICK","year_from":2025,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2025_ford_maverick","2026_ford_maverick"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"MUSTANG","year_from":2024,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_ford_mustang","2025_ford_mustang","2026_ford_mustang"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"MUSTANG MACH E","year_from":2021,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_mustang-mach-e","2022_ford_mustang-mach-e","2023_ford_mustang-mach-e","2024_ford_mustang-mach-e","2025_ford_mustang-mach-e","2026_ford_mustang-mach-e"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"RANGER","year_from":2024,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_ford_ranger","2025_ford_ranger","2026_ford_ranger"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_transit","2023_ford_transit","2024_ford_transit","2025_ford_transit","2026_ford_transit"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2024,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_lincoln_aviator","2025_lincoln_aviator","2026_lincoln_aviator"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","year_from":2023,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2023_lincoln_corsair","2024_lincoln_corsair","2025_lincoln_corsair","2026_lincoln_corsair"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"NAUTILUS","year_from":2021,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_lincoln_nautilus","2022_lincoln_nautilus","2023_lincoln_nautilus","2024_lincoln_nautilus","2025_lincoln_nautilus","2026_lincoln_nautilus"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"NAVIGATOR","year_from":2022,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2022_lincoln_navigator","2023_lincoln_navigator","2024_lincoln_navigator","2025_lincoln_navigator","2026_lincoln_navigator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
