Autostop Disable Reason - A/C Request

[ReggieB6963]

I recently bought a ThinkDiag and am able to diagnose why exactly the start/stop in my car isn't working.

When looking at the DataStream for the start/stop disable reasons, I noticed at the top there was a "Autostop Disable Reason - A/C Request", which the value as "Yes".

The A/C was not turned on and hasn't worked for about 2 years now (I.e. I turn it on but the air doesn't really get any colder). The front/rear windscreen demisters were off, I even tried it with the whole HVAC turned off, but it still said "Yes" to "A/C Request".

Does anybody know what exactly this could mean? Was it because the car was too cold? I was just parked with the ignition on and ran these tests.

Another side issue I spied was that "Autostop Disable Reason - Low-Voltage Battery State Of Charge Low" value was "Yes", but the battery is relatively new (I bought it about 6 months or so ago). Has my new battery somehow lost too much charge?

For reference the last time the start/stop worked was when I got the new battery. It worked for a day or two then stopped again.

On that think thing you should be able to see the battery state of health.
But this time of year with cold mornings and nights start stop will not be functional because you are using more consumers ( heaters lights fans etc .
But also if you were there with the ignition on it doesn't take long for the battery to get to a low state of charge.

I don't know how it didn't occur to me that I could check the battery health using this too Cheers lizzard-t
