FYI, I tried disabling ASS (auto start/stop) on a 2019 Expedition Ltd Max that was manufactured just a few weeks ago, and found that doing so produces the following warning on the vehicle on every engine start, and requiring clicking OK to dismiss:
"Charging System Service Soon"
Reverting BdyCM 726-48-02 to the original values prevents the warning from being displayed. Maybe the warning would've been harmless, but it might've annoyed the primary driver.
At least two other folks out there have encountered the same warning on 2019 Expeditions:

https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9320
Of course, if anyone's also encountered this warning screen when disabling ASS, and found a workaround, that would be interested to learn.
Also, I understand that disconnecting the ASS battery sensor wire from the positive battery terminal is another method of easily disabling ASS. I haven't played with that yet to see if it produces warning screens as well. EDIT: It does.
Thanks,
Dan
If you can't get FORScan to cooperate for disabling the ASS, you may want to consider the Auto Stop Eliminator: https://www.autostopeliminator.com/store/c4/auto-stop-start-disable-ford-expedition-2018-2019.html
