Driving down the highway doing about 72mph this morning and out of nowhere I get the Auto Stop Start fault light (the letter A with a circle arrow around it) AND at the same time the ESC swervy skid mark with a Jeep warning light indicator show up on my dash.
The messages in the message center show "Service Auto Stop Start System" and "Electronic Stability Control Disabled" (or something like that).
My gut was telling me the Aux battery was on it's way out so I took both the Aux and Main batteries out of the Jeep and down to the local auto store to have them tested. The Aux bat tested "OK" but showed it needed a charge which is a red flag for those small batteries. Having gone through this on my wife's Jeep I knew the Aux battery was on it's way out and the auto store person agreed. 40k miles and 2.5 years and sadly it's not uncommon for these batteries to call it a day.
The main battery was OK too but my guess is I've got about a year to go on it, it's already been replaced 2 years ago.
So with new Aux battery in hand I think I have my solution in hand. After installing it I fire the Jeep up and... errors still there. I was shocked as I thought I had figured it out but alas I was wrong. Tried using the Tazer to clear codes and do a full reboot but the codes came right back. So back to the drawing board and I'm hoping someone may have the same problem solved.
I'm now wondering if the ESC is the culprit causing the Start Stop to throw a code... who knows. The message center says to Service Electronic Stability Control System and the Tazer is showing me the code U0432 which I will be digging into more tomorrow.
Plan on wheeling at Sand Hollow tomorrow as well even if the codes are still there
