Auto Stop

[Brian Jones]

While I know this feature is a not well liked feature among many. Mine has been deactivated completely. While I would normally just deactivate by pressing the button, mine has not been functional since the initial recall for alternator/seat belt/brake.  Anyone else notice this?  2500 miles on the truck and three recalls is making me a little nervous.

Mine stopped working for a couple of months and just started working again.  At first I thought is was when it got too cold and\or under a certain temp it wouldn't dis engage.  However, starting a few days ago (and 20 degrees colder) its now working again.  Am I missing something?

Try unplugging the battery and then plugging it back in. That resolved the issue for me.

My guess is that your battery is getting weak.

Or possibly, there is one or more engine codes that prevent it from activating, but don't happen to turn on the check-engine light.

Do you think any of these apply? (I was surprised about the drivers seatbelt unbuckled one)
