Default Re: LZ Focus Stop-Start function N/W

Did the NRMA fit the correct start/stop battery because the battery is unique to start/stop vehicles and are a little more expensive too.

Is the A light greyed out or flashing?

Do you know if there are any codes in the system, because other issues with the vehicle can inhibit the auto start/stop system from working.

Have a read in the owners manual, there are many reasons as to why the system may stop working?

Can you advise brand and part number of the battery fitted.

Grey means the system is not working, but this could or could not be a problem.

If the system does not meet a certain criteria as examples mentioned below, then its operating correctly and not a problem as such. For example if the engine needs to remain running to maintain the heater going on a cold day and the auto start/stop does not work, then that is a system function. But if there is something else causing it like for example a dead battery, then it is a problem.

I had the same issue on my wife's old LZ and was fixed with a replacement genuine battery, part number 106601. It still had the original battery and was four years old at the time which made sense.

I have heard issues with the auxiliary oil pump for the automatic transmission can fail and thus stops the auto start/stop from working but that usually produces a DTC. That would also be a problem.
