Download the FORScan software from forscan.org. You can purchase a 1 year license or get a free 2 month license. You will also need to buy a PC cable. Search on Amazon or ebay for "forscan OBD2 cable."

Forscan is great software, but I did find coding differences in year to year, especially model to model. I managed to disable the TPMS in my Ford Explorer so I could run rims without the sensors, and without the annoying dash light.
It took me trial and error to get it, and I got lucky. My first attempts used coding from another Ford model which caused issues with the 4wd modes! Fortunately I recorded all the original codes and restored them.
So if you have any Ford, you can probably disable the start/stop, but make sure you record your original settings first, and be prepared to try different settings.
