I have driven the car with the multimeter plugged into pins 16 and 4 of the DLC. When going downhill the continuous average voltage went up to 15V and uphill down to 12.6V. So the system appears to be doing the right thing. The whole point of the smart charge system is to reduce emissions/fuel use, by 1 or 2 percent.
Yuasa has a device called Yu-Fit, which battery retailers can use to do BMS resets. I have a Yu-Fit vehicle application list specifically for smart charge (not ISS). It indicates a reset is not available for Mondeo.

I'd thought about doing something similar using the ciggy lighter socket. What is the DLC?
