I know this would be a blessing for most, but after I got hit by that nasty hailstorm I've noticed my ESS has never turned the engine off since then. I've looked under the hood, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I've even wondered if the constant impacts on the hood could have shattered the innards of one or both of those goofy pin switches under the hood that tells it if the hood is open or not?
I was watching the battery voltage on the dash display and did notice it never goes over 14.0 even under acceleration. At times when cruising it drops to 13.8-13.9. If I check the ESS status on the main screen, it just says Stop/Start Not Ready but gives no other details.
So ordinarily I'd be OK with ESS just staying off but I'm concerned that something else is wrong and I'd like to figure out what's going on. Does the voltage seem low to anyone else? Has anyone else had ESS just go AWOL for no apparent reason?
My Jeep is stock, no tuners/programmers or anything on it.
