Do stop/start batteries need to be programmed?
It’s best to have a dealer or workshop install a stop-start battery. They will have the diagnostic equipment needed to reset the car’s active energy management system. Reprogramming tools can be purchased, but doing it yourself is only recommended for experienced hobby mechanics.
Does auto start stop save gas?
Does stop-start help save fuel? Yes – in situations where you’re stationary with the engine idling, such as in heavy traffic or waiting for traffic lights to change, it will save however much fuel would have been used by the engine while the car is stationary.
Why is my stop start warning light not working?
Ask your local indy or dealer to recalibrate your stop start system and that should put it right. I know the system does not work when your battery doesn’t have enough charge but you shouldn’t get this warning light for that (maybe battery symbol on dash if severely depleted) so I doubt the battery is the issue.
What should I do about the stop start light?
As for the service light, check out your list of serviceable items on the dash, see which one needs doing.

Why does the start-stop system do not work?
The reason why the start-stop system does not function can be due to the interaction between both of these essential systems. The top priority for any battery is to start the engine. However, if the battery only has a low charge, the Battery Management System (BMS) switches off the start-stop function to enable the engine to be started.
Why does battery management switch off the start-stop system?
The battery management switches off the start-stop function The top priority for any battery is to start the engine. However, if the battery only has a low charge, the Battery Management System (BMS) switches off the start-stop function to enable the engine to be started. A similar protective mechanism operates in the following cases:
