Stop start unavailable service stop start system jeep cherokee

Hello, are you saying your start/stop says unavailable while your engine is still running? Then how do you shut it off?

I guess on one hand I'm not understanding the concern. And then on the other hand, the only thing you can do is perform proper diagnostic testing with appropriate diagnostic equipment that is functional with your Jeep. Having the skill and reference materials available is essential.

Problem: The stop start is “not ready”
because the dashboard display says the
driver door is open even though the door is
closed. The “door open” is only displayed in
the stop start menu. Meaning the routine
door ajar sensor detects the door as being
closed and has not malfunctioned.

Possible Influences: The Cherokee sat for 9
months while I was deployed overseas.
When I returned the battery was completely
dead. After replacing the battery everything
else is functioning properly.

Stupid Start/Stop system


Anyone have any repetitive issues with their start/stop idiot light coming on? My wife's 2017 Cherokee started doing it months ago here & there, then one day the damn Jeep wouldn't start. Turned out to be a dead battery.......at only 45,000 miles! I changed it, & now just a few weeks later the light just popped back up along with the check engine light. Anyone have any thoughts here? I'm guessing it's a non-warranty issue? Thanks!

If there was an issue, it would be covered under the 3yr/36k mile warranty, and you're past that mileage at 45k. I'd still go to the dealer and make sure there isn't an excessive power draw.

Depending on the length of time he owned the Jeep and the climate, 45,000 miles may not be abnormal. If he replaced the original battery with a non-AGM battery then it is no surprise that it failed quickly.

But since he hasn’t been back since he first posted he won’t have seen these responses.

What does it mean when your Jeep says stop

I believe the system monitors battery level, and if insufficient you'll get the message "unavailable". drive a bit battery gets full & start/stop becomes available.

What does it mean to service start

A vehicle start-stop system or stop-start system automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

What does stop/start warning light mean?

The Auto Start Stop warning light will illuminate in yellow if you open the engine hood when the engine has been temporarily stopped by the Auto Start Stop system. In this case, to ensure safety, the engine will not be automatically restarted, even if you release the brake pedal.
