To permanently disable the Intelligent stop start
To permanently disable the Intelligent stop start.
Simply remove the right rear interior trim panel in the luggage area, where the fuse panel is located. You just have to reach under and grab the handle and give it a good tug.
Inside you will see a small battery. Simply disconnect the negative lead off the battery. Once the lead is removed. tape it up with electrical tap so there is no chance of an electrical short and tie it so it won't move around. I just used zip ties.
replace the trim cover and enjoy .
No fault codes, no displayed error messages and most importantly NO MORE Intelligent Stop Start
I couldn't find anyone who had done this on a land rover, but it is a very common fix on the Jag's with the same system. I decided to try it and sure enough it works.
Hope this helps those of you were as displeased as me with the system.
Before I dive into this I wanted to check with anyone who may have done this on a 2016/2016.5 LR4. I do not want the yellow light but I do not want this awful system functioning either.
