- Getting the Autostop/start (ESS) warning light, backup camera and backup lights failing after re-gearing. This is apparently a common problem with manual transmission Wranglers and Gladiators. Setting the gears in Tazer to 5.13 gears didn't help. Was going to take to the dealer but found the answer on Jeep Gladiator forum. Check it out! Please like and subscribe. #JTRSPARTACUS

This process is outlined here static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176542-9999.pdf
Lots of interest in this process and fix!!
Just regeared to 4.88 on 2022 MT Willys Sport Gladiator - same issue as outlined here. Really appreciate the video and info, will be doing this today. The shop that did the regear didn't know about this either.
Glad this was useful. Be sure to completely disconnect both batteries and I turned on the headlights to completely discharge the system. Good luck 🍀 #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus did your Gladiator experience jerky acceleration, esp at sub-2k rpm light throttle, for the 500-1000 miles after resetting things? I've seen other forum posts about this and mine is doing it. No other lights etc. Just 3700 miles on mine now.
@@mynameisphunk not that I particularly noticed. Maybe the computer is confused 🫤.
Thanks man, this helped. Changed the tires before and just did full reboots of the system, a couple sleep cycles, and the relearn process of 60 in 6th and never had an issue. This time I could not get rid of that darn light without disconnecting the battery.
Glad this stuff is useful. Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
Same here exactly what happened after re-gearing. I took it back they fixed it (dealership). They told me me it was a update but I'm sure they just reboot the system like you did here. 😁👍
Glad they got it right! Thanks for watching !
#JTRSPARTACUS
Good info. I have the manual also.
Glad this is useful. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you won’t ever need this. #JTRSPARTACUS #savethestick
Nice to know
Thanks for watching. Who would’ve thought the start stop would be connected to the backup lights. #JTRSPARTACUS
Always wear your seat belt! Stay safe out there friend. 🙏
Good reminder! Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
I have a '21 that I took the 2nd day of owning to lift and new tires/wheels. This light has been on for 2 years 😄 Decided I'd try to handle it since I'm due for inspection. I never thought the lift was the problem, good grief. I have an auto, hopefully this will still fix mine!
Good luck!
Just regeared to 4.88s in my JLU Manual And was having the exact same issue! Follow your instructions and boom! It work! Thanks for posting this video!
Awesome !! Glad this was helpful. #JTRSPARTACUS
This is great, thanks a ton. I've been having the same issue since May. What exactly did you disconnect? I understand the negative connection on the battery, but what was the 2nd connection you disconnected? It wasn't so clear in the video. Also, what was your re-learning process like? Just driving in 6th gear between 40 and 80 MPH? Did you give any thought to the accelerator pedal position or the flywheel torque? Both of those are listed in the procedure, but how are those positions determined? Thanks again!
There is a second black wire on the negative terminal. It’s attached to the wire near the battery terminal. It goes to the auxiliary battery underneath. The easiest way to tell is to disconnect and see if it turns on or starts. If it doesn’t turn on or start it’s disconnected. The relearn is Pretty much just driving in 6th depressing the accelerator for 20 seconds. I posted the pic of the procedure in my community post section so it’s easier to see. Check it out. Good luck! #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus It worked!!! Thanks a ton for posting this. Jeep told me I was on my own and a Tazer didn't work so I had given up hope. But I just disconnected both cables from the negative terminal, then disconnected those two cables from each other, let it sit for five minutes and boom... start/stop worked again. It was working right out of the driveway. Usually it errors out once I hit 4th gear, but on my way to the highway for the relearning process, it never errored out. Still did the highway drive in 6th for good measure. Thanks again! I'll spread the word and direct people to your video.
@@scottsimmons8946 glad this worked for you! Please share the channel and video. I’m trying to get over 1,000 subscribers. Thanks for watching and sharing your story. #JTRSPARTACUS
I have a 2021 Wrangler Rubicon with a manual having this same problem. I sure wish you could have gone through the fix as you it because you didn't post the procedure as you said you would so I am still in the dark. I have googled it and gone through forum posts and cannot figure out how to fix this.
Go to 3:19. That’s the printed procedure I used. Might need to do it a couple times for it to work properly. Here is a Jeep Gladiator forum post about this. Good luck www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/p08a6-and-auto-stop-start-failure.26921/#post-808033 #JTRSPARTACUS
The latest and greatest is here static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176542-9999.pdf good luck. Hope you get it sorted out. #JTRSPARTACUS
Cool
Thanks for tuning in and being a loyal subscriber!!!! #JTRSPARTACUS
Appreciate the info… 22 Mojave here. Been wanting to rear gear as this manual with 4.10 is terrible…
What type of exhaust are you running?
Loving my 5.13 gears! I’m running the Borla Climber S Type car back - single. czcams.com/video/gjyKO2NejPk/video.html #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus Copy that. TY.
I had a similar issue but it was the open hood sensor. Apparently it's on the same circuit as the autostart and it was causing the autostart to mess up. Dealer replace the sensor and everything is back to normal.
Good to know. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
How did you fix the open hood sensor problem ?
How much did they charge to change hood sensor ?
@@ivansilguero5446 it was under warranty so I am not sure
I have a 2020 grand cherokee overland. Bought it last week and the stop/start warning keeps popping up. It's an automatic transmission so I can't really do what you did here in the video. Anyone know how I can fix it?, I live in a developing country and there's no jeep dealership and service area near me so I have to fix it myself. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Could be tie auxiliary battery. After you check all your connections , Check your second battery with a voltage meter. If it’s dead it will eventually kill your main battery. Good luck #JTRSPARTACUS
Wheres the video of the process , like the full video i cant find it :S
My AC is off im dying cause of the heat haha, can you please share here the link for the video of what you did once you disconected the negative side of the battery?
THANKS!!!!!!!
Sorry. No video. If you disconnect all of the negative side cables it will disconnect from the main battery and sux battery.
Will this same process work on an automatic with the same start/stop issue. It shut down my radio and airconditioning also while up at 12000 feet in Colorado. Weird
Not exactly the same but couldn’t hurt to completely disconnect the batteries for a little while. Good luck! #JTRSPARTACUS
20 Mojave not a manual but my jeep kept losing charge so after about 3 days of jumpstarting it I bought a new battery still has the warning on thinking it might be the alternator 😢
Have you read the code? Does the dash ga😅ge show lower than 13 volts. Also You can take a voltage reading while running Could be a lot of things. Good luck. #JTRSPARTACUS
Experiencing same issues on my JTR-MT after regear to 5.13. Had same issue before after putting 37's on and dealer fixed it then (i believe with this solution) but they didn't mention this when i called them on the road after regear. Instruction pdf is beyond my tech expertise but i tried to follow instructions on your channel. Didn't work for me, couple ideas why: (1) I disconnected the negative terminal clamp and both black wires connected to it--however i did not disconnect those black wires from each other as the connections were very tight and i didn't want to damage wires--perhaps i could with better tools (i seem to recall you mentioning need to disconnect wires from each other--does that have something to do with disconnecting both batteries?? pdf mentions need to disconnect both and i have no idea how to disconnect auxiliary battery. I tapped brake pedal a little like you suggested but wasn't sure how long i had to do that for. (2) My DTC P08A6 problems appear at irregular, unpredictable intervals from start and this particular time, as i left on my way to highway for "6th gear learnin'" it happened almost immediately as i left my driveway. In any event, if i disconnect battery at home it is unlikely i would make it to highway before problem appears. Is it necessary to do the 6th gear learning prior to error appearing? Not sure that is possible.
You definitely need to disconnect the auxiliary battery - all of the cables. If you have power to anything, the relearn procedure won’t work. You may need to get creative about how /where you disconnect and reconnect - close to a highway. It’s a pain but it’ll work. Good luck ! #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus i see, so apparently the relearn must be completed before error happens--that will indeed be challenging--thanks!
@@lawnews I think that it must be completed before the error pops up. Good luck.
I just did a gear swap to 5.13s and I'm having the same issue. I reset all ecu's with jscan but when I start it up after the reset the autostop light comes on within seconds. How am I supposed to do the relearn procedure when the light comes on almost instantly?
The only way I found was to completely disconnect the batteries. Resetting with a taser (same principle) didn’t work for me. Good luck.
@@JTRSpartacus Thank you so much! Did the battery disconnect and all is good now.
@@Mojave-iv1dm cool. Glad it worked for you. Enjoy the gears!! One of the best mods ever!
Hey I had the same problem after lifting mine. I didn't re gear it though. Got it back from dealer who said it was fixed and it died at a red light. It did this twice. After second time a light came on saying find a safe place to pull off road engine will cut off. I thought yeah right. It did and it lost all power after several attempts trying to start it.
Sorry to hear. Sounds a bit different but hopefully you can get it straightened out.
I just had this issue. Replace the Aux battery and also look at the fuse link next to the fuse box under the hood. Check with continuity port 3 on the large fuse link. I had to replace mine
Mine did the same thing, first thing that comes on says service shifter, happens when it rains and everything dies. Still haven’t gotten it solved yet.
Ughh. Good luck. 🍀 #JTRSPARTACUS
More confused now that before I watched your video. Relearn procedure? Disconnect battery, no footage?
Sorry to hear. What do you need footage of? Disconnecting the battery? Just disconnect all of the the black wires to the battery and try to turn your headlights on. The relearn procedure is here - it involves driving in 6th gear and accelerating .. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176542-9999.pdf good luck!
Still getting a lot of interest in this ESS auto stop start. Please check out the process bulletin static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176542-9999.pdf #JTRSPARTACUS
what year is ur jeep. nice
Thanks for watching! It’s a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. #JTRSPARTACUS
I am having trouble with mine, it seems like it’s stuck in neutral no matter what gear I try to switch it too and won’t move
That seems like a different issue. Needs some trouble shooting. Could be transfer case not engaged fully engaged in a gear or linkage broken and stuck in neutral, broken linkage in the gear shifter assembly or another issue. Very hard to tell. Will it roll freely when it appears to be in gear? Will it start? If you put it in 4wd low and start it does anything change? Does it give you any errors or codes?
Good luck! #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus it starts fine, no check engine light or anything like that. I can shift to any gear and it feels tight, so the clutch feels fine. It’s like any time I switch gears it just won’t go like it’s in neutral. This is my first week with the car so I am just wondering if I accidentally hit something to stop it from moving. Thank you for the quick response
It only has about 14k miles on it
@@ketodietdiaries8484 definitely check the transfer case to make sure it is firmly in gear. If the transfer case is in neutral the vehicle will not move.
Post up a video on your CZcams showing the issue and we’ll see if we can help. Good luck.
How did you find that tech information I'm trying to reset my dash stop start light
I googled a lot and found it. The dealer had no clue. There is also a lot more of good info on Jeep Gladiator Forum too. www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/
You’ll need to determine the underlying cause of the start stop light - there are a ton of posts on this in the forum but common problems include: dead battery (ies - usually the auxiliary battery), hood closed plunger/connection, loose fuses/breakers, bad ESS module. Good luck !! #JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus Thanks
7.7 miles per gallon ain’t gna work with these gas prices today!!!
Ha! That’s pretty terrible. I reset it in my driveway and was running it. Normally get a less terrible 14mpgs on 37s with 5.13 gears. Not great but at least doable. Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
Same problem with my 2021 JT sport after I reGeared to 4:88.
Hopefully you got it straightened out. Good luck 🍀👍 #JTRSPARTACUS
I turned on my headlights to make sure the system completely discharged and the drove it to a highway to get in 6th gear, accelerating for 20 seconds. Be sure to checkout the procedure here static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10176542-9999.pdf Good luck!
I just got it! You are my hero man! Been a month and a half dealing with this trying to dig for an answer. I was close to buying a new aux battery. Glad I didn’t . Thanks again 🙏
@@JTRSpartacus you rock!
Glad this worked. Dealers are clueless!!
its so funny my jeep jl 21 is at the same millage you have and i just got a random pop up of this . i turned off the jeep and it went away so far it has yet to come back on but im praying it was just a lost signal or something mind you I didnt regear or anything everything but the bumpers and rack is stock
Good luck. Hopefully just a fluke.
I find it ironic I got called by jeep to extend my warranty to 100k and declined and the following morning this happened
Yikes ! Hopefully you can fix it yourself or find a competent shop. I generally think that extended warranties are a scam and I don’t normally let stealership “mechanics” work on my vehicle unless it’s a recall and have to. Good luck! #JTRSPARTACUS
Man - I just got my gladiator serviced 1 week ago... had a horrible experience because of the wait time at the dealership and gave them a negative review.... well, I go on vacation the next day for a week, my truck barely starts and I've had the auto stop warning light pop up... oh and I just hit 37k miles in 20 months.... can't wait to call them to see what they say even though they supposedly checked my battery.
😂😮
Maybe you should change the video's title . Jeep Gladiator backup camera issues or else.
The backup camera is a weird side effect of the auto stop start system failure. The relearn procedure fixes it. Thanks for watching. #JTRSPARTACUS
Getting a lot of interest in this video. Please let me know if you have any questions. This was a permanent fix for me. #JTRSPARTACUS
Don’t help anything to fixed the stars / stop
It depends on what the issue is. If you have a dead auxiliary battery or a bad ESS module this isn’t going to fix those problems. But if you made tire size/gearing adjustments and need to reset this procedure may work. Good luck !
