Auto Off Not Working

[Matthewstorm]

I've coded for Sport+ and have JB+ installed so I'm a little leery of going to the dealer about this. I may just let it be.

Auto off won’t work in sport+, you mean it won’t work in comfort mode right?

Correct.

It’s usually battery isn’t charged enough, I keep a battery tender on the supra, auto start stop usually always works then. Only use it when cops pull up Next to me lol

Ok, I'm gonna ask a dumb question. But OP didn't state and no one asked. You didn't accidently hit the A off button by sport button? It's close to the shifter and the sport button so it's easy to hit by mistake.

Nope, didn't hit the Off button.

A while back I got a message my car entered low power mode after not driving it for 2 weeks. It started fine. But I'm wondering if there wasn't some damage done to the battery. I have a CTEK charger but is doesn't say AGM. Is this safe to use?

Sounds like a batter problem them. Make sure your battery is fully charged. I'd unplug it and reconnect everything too.

Thanks. But like I asked is it ok to use a non AGM charger?

FWIW, this is the battery charger/maintainer I use when I don't drive the car for a while:

I've had it for 7 years, never had an issue. It says that it's compatible with AGM as well. It's pretty low current so it's not a great option for charging up a dead battery, but it works well to keep it topped up when sitting in the garage for weeks/months.

From what it sounds like, I agree that it's probably due to the battery charge state.

I also noticed that our car automatically will switch on the AC to defog the windshield if it detects any condensation, even when the AC button is off (light not on) and I never pressed the defog button. When the AC compressor is running, then auto start/stop will definitely be disabled. The only way to make sure the AC doesn't run is to switch the fan speed to be completely OFF. Heated seats might also draw enough power to disable auto start/stop.

I have some some loooong red lights where I live and I appreciate the auto start/stop in those situations. But I hate it when the car in front of me pulls up a few feet while the light is still red and the radar sensors triggers an engine restart and I'm sitting at the intersection burning gas for another two minutes.
