No.. two different systems.

 

Maybe the mechanic saw something disconnected then when they were doing the recall

Thats what I figured. So maybe the mechanic just saw something disconnected when doing the recall 🤷‍♂️

 

Have you had the recall/update done for the Idle Stop system?

I purchased my '22 as a 'certified pre-owned plus' this January, so I'm assuming that recall was taken care of. I looked up my VIN and the Fakra recall was the only one listed for it.

 

Perhaps your battery was just a little too low to allow the Idle Stop to work prior to you taking it in for the other Farka cable recall. The mechanic may have for some reason put a charger on the battery during or after him working on the cables which then may have put your battery voltage over the limit which allows the Idle Stop to work. He could have charged the battery because he had the door(s) open while working on the cables, he may have noticed a lower voltage while testing the cables, etc.

 

Sounds very plausible. Didn't realize the charge of the battery could effect that feature. I'll inquire about the battery the next time I take it in for service.

 

That's what part of the Idle Stop recall does is monitor the battery closer as to allow or not allow the engine to stop. If it is too low the engine may not restart which is a problem which the recall supposedly fixed.
