Mercedes SL Start Stop Problem

My 2011 Mercedes SL with a gasoline engine has an issue The Start-Stop system isn't working and there's an error message The engine sometimes shuts off unexpectedly Could a bad battery cause engine start problems later

I had a similar problem with my SL The start-stop system stopped, and it was the car battery Have you checked the battery's voltage and health Sometimes a seemingly good battery can be the culprit

Thanks for the insight Can you tell me how the battery issue showed up in your car Did you see any other weird electrical stuff before the Start-Stop quit Was it a sudden failure or did it happen slowly

It was pretty sudden One day the Start-Stop just stopped No other symptoms before that With your error codes and the symptoms, I'd suggest getting the battery tested by a professional A weak battery can mess with modern systems Maybe go to a workshop

Thanks for confirming and the advice Based on what you said and the diagnostics, I'll get the battery checked at a workshop A new car battery solved the problem
