Disable auto start stop

I have a 2019 f150 with the A.S.S. Id like to disable it thru forscan but dont want to lose the bms.

is there another way to do it? I have hptuners and can remove it there but i dont know if the bms goes away there too.

I ran into the same dilemma - didn't want to disable the BMS. Had toyed with unplugging the last connection near trailer brake module but didn't like this would disable trailer lights. I don't tow often and would forget it was unplugged.

Ended up picking up auto stop eliminator. Took 5 min to install and completely reversible.

BMS has to be disabled separately. I have both disabled.

The device only disables the A.S.S., it interrupts the switch to turn it off.
