Auto Stop/Start System Inhibits

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The inhibit conditions listed below will not set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) but will set flags which can be viewed using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment - Datalogger/Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Normal auto stop/start system operation will resume when an inhibit condition is no longer present, but the battery related inhibits may persist for some time.

NOTE: Do not reset the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) to rectify battery condition inhibits. This may temporarily restore auto stop/start system operation but will lead to a recurrence of the fault.
