Auto stop/start system inoperative
  • Auto stop/start system inhibited
    • Driver error/expectation
    • Recent DTC clear
    • System fault
  • Auto stop/start system fault
NOTE: 'AUTO STOP/START FAULT' will be displayed in the instrument cluster message centre when the system is inoperative due to a fault.
  • Refer to the Auto Stop/Start System Inhibits table for possible inhibit conditions
    • Auto stop/start system inhibited due to driver error/expectation: Explain/demonstrate the auto stop/start system to the driver
    • Auto stop/start system inhibited due to a recent DTC clear (and a drive cycle not completed): Road test the vehicle at a speed of 48 to 80 km/h (30 to 50 mph) for 2 to 3 minutes, allow the engine to idle, auto stop/start will now activate
    • Auto stop/start system inhibited due to battery condition: Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, perform routine - Power Supply Service Mode Diagnostic Routine
  • Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check the powertrain control module for related DTCs and refer to the relevant DTC index
