Was driving down a pass and I saw in the area where the miles and mileage usually was brief message. Finally, it stayed long enough for me to read it “ESS Error” Engine start/stop. I read up on it and it is often battery related. I checked my battery and it was 95% and 75F, so no real distress.
I wonder if it was because I was doing a fair amount of engine braking?
I also have a ESS button hold down lever. Past few weeks It has ‘disengaged’ a few times.
Car ran fine. Like I said the message at first showed up for a couple of seconds, hard to read. Finally it stayed on for about a minute. I think I had the ESS off at that time.
Besides the message in the central unit, it never gave me any idiot lights.
Thoughts?
