Very odd issue. 3 times now, once last fall and twice in the last 2 weeks. Interestingly, the last 2 times was at these exact same spot on the way home from work.
First, I always immediately turn off auto stop right after starting the vehicle.
I’ll get to a stop sign, stop and the vehicle dies. A message will appear on the display that says, Shift to neutral and restart vehicle.
It starts and I drive away. One of the times everything went black but it restarted and then the same message appeared after the fact.
Had the truck at the dealership on Friday for a front alignment check. I told the dealership owner, service advisor and tech what was going on. They found it extremely crazy that the message came up on the screen.
The dongle showed no codes. So they logged in and did a full scan and it showed zero issues or codes related to this. No voltage or communication problems.
So, I’m forced to keep driving it and hope it restarts each time or eventually stores a code.
I find it odd that the computer doesn’t see the normal input from the auto stop or from the actual starter button or an oil pressure issue, etc….to shut down and doesn’t throw a code. And, actually has that message, Shift to neutral and restart, programmed in the computer to display.
