Service Deterrent System Issue - Vx-Mad-G - 3:rd-Dec-2016 Hi guys, Quick question, this morning I had the service deterrent system message come up after 3 startups. Now after reading many messages, this indicates that the battery is goosed. My start stopto hasnt worked sinceout I bought the car about a month ago. All this indicates battery from what everyone tells me. So questions are which please help me with.... a) is it definately my battery that is knackered?? b) I have been advised that as its stop/start I need a gel battery. c) if I need a gel battery, what would happen if I put a normal one in? Thanks. Service Deterrent System Issue - Rusty2009 - 3:rd-Dec-2016 First thing I would do is have the battery tested and the alternator. Having stop/start you need a battery that covers stop/start.

I have bought another good second hand battery at the weekend, will stick that in next week and see how it goes. Who can do me a free battery test? i dont have one of them meter things.

Still pumping out 12.3v, sound right? RE: Service Deterrent System Issue - Vx-Mad-G - 13:th-Dec-2016 Battery replaced and all seems OK. The only thing I would say is that the message still came up the next day, does it need time to clear out fo the memory? Start Stop now works! RE: Service Deterrent System Issue - Rusty2009 - 13:th-Dec-2016 Codes will auto clear after x amount of successful starts with the fault not being present. But it should be popping up unless the fault is still there.
