I pulled over today and let someone out of my car, turned it off for a couple of minutes and when I started it back up the error message came up

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.

Hi Guys,

Need your help folks.

A month or so ago, I was getting a random "Service Theft Deterrent System" message coming up randomly and my start/stop wasnt working.

So googled it and everything pointed towards a dodgy battery, especially as the start/stop want working.

Anyway, I replaced the battery for another good second hand one and low & behold, the start/stop started working so that nailed that S/S problem. However randomly I was still getting a "Service Theft Deterrent System"

I occasionally get this come up on the dash and then when I start the car, it will cut out a couple of seconds later.

I have to then take the key out, lock/unlock the doors and it will then go away until the next time. Does anyone know what this is all about?
