Possible cause described
According to the UK DVSA (R/2018/071) and the EU alert A12/0456/18 (Safety Gate), incorrect engine control module software makes the ENG A-STOP system inoperative and, with it, the charging of the lead-acid battery. The fix is to reprogram the module with corrected software.
