1.1 Safety precautions when working on ve‐
hicles with a start/stop system

When working on vehicles with start/stop system, please observe
the following:

Caution

Electrical system - Edition 02.2018

Risk of injury from automatic engine start.

♦ On vehicles with activated start-stop system (recogniza‐

ble by a message in the dash panel insert) there is a risk
that the engine can start automatically.

♦ It is therefore necessary to ensure that the start-stop sys‐

tem is deactivated when carrying out work on the vehicle
(switch ignition off, if required switch ignition on again).

1.2 Safety precautions during road tests in
which

testing and measuring equipment

is used

Note the following if testers and measuring instruments are used
during road tests:

WARNING

There is a risk of accident from insufficient securing of testers
and measuring instruments.

There is a hazard from the release of the passenger airbag in
the event of an accident.

• Drivers operating testing and measuring equipment while
driving can lead to an accident.

• Increased risk of accident due to unsecured test and
measuring devices.

Always secure the testing and measuring equipment with a belt
on

the rear seat and have a second person operate them there.

1.3 Use and safety instructions for gas dis‐
charge lamps

2 Repair instructions

⇒ “2.1 Contact corrosion”, page 3
⇒ “2.2 Cable routing and securing”, page 3

2.1 Contact corrosion

The use of unsuitable connection elements (screws, nuts, wash‐
ers, etc.) causes contact corrosion.

This is why only connection elements with a special surface coat‐
ings are fitted.

Therefore, the rubber or plastic parts and the adhesives are made
from electrically non-conductive materials.

In case of doubt regarding the re-use of certain parts, the use of
new parts is recommended.

WARNING

♦ It is recommended to use only original connection material

as well as spare parts which are tested and compatible
with aluminium, see ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original

Caution

Risk of damage to cables, risk of fire and failure of onboard
electrical system!

♦ To rule out mix ups and ensure the original fitting position,

mark

the lines before disassembly. This includes lines for
fuel, hydraulics, underpressure, activated charcoal filter,
or electric cables. Make photos or sketches where nec‐
essary.

♦ To prevent damage to lines, sufficient clearance from all

moving or hot components must be ensured in the engine
compartment due to its cramped construction.

♦ All plug connections must be locked using catches, if nec‐

essary with special securing clips, to prevent them dis‐
connecting unintentionally. When connecting, the catches
must engage audibly; for plug connections with catch, lock
the plug connection by pushing in the catch. If necessary,
check it is locked correctly by pulling gently on the plug
connection.

Caution

Electrical system - Edition 02.2018

Risk of injury from automatic engine start.

♦ On vehicles with activated start-stop system (recogniza‐

ble by a message in the dash panel insert) there is a risk
that the engine can start automatically.

♦ It is therefore necessary to ensure that the start-stop sys‐

tem is deactivated when carrying out work on the vehicle
(switch ignition off, if required switch ignition on again).

The start-stop system is designed to reduce fuel consumption and
thus contributes to the reduction of pollutant emissions.

For this purpose the engine automatically switches off during
standstill
operating the clutch pedal.

The system is always automatically activated when the ignition is
switched on and can be deactivated with the “start-stop” button in
the centre console.

Detailed description of the function as well as conditions for the
operation of the start-stop system see:

♦ ⇒ Self-study programme No. 86 ; Start-stop system in Škoda

♦ ⇒ Operating instructions Rapid

Note

♦

The components adapted for the start-stop system are not
specifically designated and differ only slightly from the usual
components (e.g. starter, generator).

♦

When carrying out repairs, pay attention to the correct desig‐
nation of the spare parts see ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of
Original Parts“ETKA” .

5.3 Fault recognition and fault display

The start-stop system is implemented in the software of the en‐
gine control unit - J623- as a function.

The engine control unit is equipped with self-diagnosis, which fa‐
cilitates the fault finding.

For fault finding use the ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in the function
“Targeted fault finding”.

5.4 Battery recharging or starting by exter‐
nal source on vehicles with start-stop
system

When recharging or jump start on vehicles with start/stop system,
observe the following:

Do not disconnect the earth strap of the battery when recharging.
First of all connect to the positive terminals using the charge or

jump

leads; then connect to the body mass (do not connect to the

negative terminal of the battery).

Note

♦

The direct charging (starting aid) of the battery at the negative
terminal results in the bypass of the battery monitoring control
unit - J367- (then the current flow is not monitored by this con‐
trol unit).

♦

The values regarding the battery state, which are stored in the
data bus diagnostic interface - J 533- (Gateway), would then
no longer correspond to the values of the charged battery.

♦

This can lead to the failure of the start-stop system.

♦

Testing and charging the battery ⇒ Electrical System – Gen‐
eral notes; Rep. gr. 27 . If a note cannot be accessed, open
the Workshop Manual “Electrical System - General Notes”
manually in “ELSA”, Section “27”.

5.5 Replacing the battery on vehicles with “start-stop” system

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries or batteries with a magic
eye

with EFB technology (Enhanced Flooded Battery) are instal‐

led in vehicles with start-stop system.
When replacing the battery, only install a fleece battery (AGM) or

a battery with EFB technology with the same capacity (see ⇒
Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts“ETKA” ).

When replacing the battery with a new one, another type of bat‐
tery or a battery of a higher capacity you must set the battery
parameters, see

⇒ “1.9 Battery parameterisation”, page 19 .

System - General Notes” manually in “ELSA”, Section “27”.

5.6 Voltage stabiliser - J532-

The voltage stabilizer - J532- is located under the front passenger
seat.

Its task is to stabilise the high voltage drop of the on-board power
supply, resulting from the start-stop operation, to 12 volts.

If it becomes apparent that the electrical consumers (such as ra‐
dio/navigation, telephone, dash panel insert) must be reset at
each engine start, while operating the start-stop system, this in‐
dicates that the voltage stabilizer is defective.

If the above mentioned electrical consumers fail at the same time,
first of all check the fuse of the voltage stabilizer see ⇒ Current
flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

A direct entry relating to a malfunction of the voltage stabilizer via
⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester is not made at present.

It transmits information on whether the battery has enough elec‐
tric power for the operation of the start-stop system.

It is connected to the data bus diagnostic interface - J533- (Gate‐
way) via the LIN data bus.

In the event of a failure, an entry is made in the event memory.
