I don't normally use (actually have really never using it other than for fun) Start / Stop on my 500X but due to a motorway accident and stationary traffic I decided to switch it on.
Sadly it did not work. Tried Sport, Old Fart and Traction modes but still no joy.
Now having had a recent vehicle software update I thought (like the dead lock issue reported in another thread) this was a side effect of the update as there were no associated error messages.
After booking the car in with the dealer I just thought ...... why not
I disconnected the quick release battery negative terminal. Also disconnected the Start/Stop sensor wire and left to stand for a few minutes.
Reconnect the Start/Stop sensor wire and then the quick release negative terminal connection.
Problem sorted :slayer:
I have no idea if this was a software update related issue (e.g. some form of additional reset initialisation/reset required) or the car thew a wobbly on the Start/Stop a while ago. Either way may actions seems to have covered the Start/Stop operation.
Certainly worth a try if you ever have a similar issue.
Small warning. You will lose your Trip A and Trip B data so if this important to you then you should note the data before disconnecting the battery. All other vehicle setting appear to be unaffected.
