Auto start/stop system doesn't work.
I'm getting a notice in the console regarding the auto start/stop system. I know the switch is on the console to turn it off, but its on for sure. I get a notice essentially saying automatic stop won't activate because it detected something in the power port. There is nothing plugged in.
Anyone else see this?
I actually dropped the truck off today to get it looked at, and I will report what they say. Just curious if others have seen it. This is apparently new on all 2017 models (?)
I think this link should work; https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/video...&autoplay=true

Well, I'm pretty much an idiot at the moment. 
Completely wrong nomenclature in my post. I am referring to the auto start-stop system.
Somehow, somewhere I picked up "aps" or auto power system. doh!
I'll edit my original post now

Mine doesn't work on my 2016 I think because of the battery or charging system. I guess I'm waiting for it to die to get it checked. I think I have about 600 miles on the truck.

I've noticed that if it can't maintain temperature in the cab it will kick back on. For example, this morning it was around 18 degrees here. Hit a stoplight, engine turned off, I turned the heat dial up a notch, engine immediately restarted.

Huh, didn't know the 2.7L trucks got an AGM battery. Makes sense, I suppose, with the auto start system. Just looked this one up, it's not quite as bad as I thought:

You can charge an AGM battery with a regular charger, it won't hurt anything. The principal on how they operate is similar to a conventional wet-cell battery, but they are much more resistant to deep cycling.
