My Stop Start has disabled itself 
because the auxiliary battery or main battery isn't 100% , it started when temps got below 10 C and hasn't come back since , must be a few months now.
Certainly something one could do for the summer , but The Beast from the East made things interesting earlier this year .

I was incorrect , it wasn't lower ambient temperatures affecting the batteries it was a brake booster vacuum sensor a prerequisite of Stop Start.
I've since seen a few 'cures' one is to remove a connector from the main battery negative lead , but this disables the brake HOLD function which I like .
Upon getting caught out with the horrid SS by forgetting I resumed my hatred as such was it I was in danger of becoming a Sith , lol .
I found disconnecting the auxiliary battery fuse
But I simply pulled out the 7.5A fuse blade , and...
I'm very happy , no Stop Start and no concequences.
To think people pay good money for the OBD fix.

Another fuse puller here since at least 6 months and thousands of kilometers, with no problems at all. The only thing I still would like to see confirmed is that there is not an OBD error code stored.
Take care!
Take care!

I know this is an older post, but I came across it and thought I would put in my 1/2 cent 
If you have a scan tool ( does not have to be Xentry) you can variant code it and disable it. I did it with mine with an OBDII tool called " Thinkdiag" was about $100. I was also able to stop the annoying seatbelt chime since it takes me more than a split second to put on my seatbelt lol. I did a few other things to it aswell, but this is about eco start/stop So I wont bore you with my nerdy details

I'd be very careful messing with the codes if you don't know what you're doing. Sounds like it's a bit like trying to edit Windows or iOS operating systems — not something the average user should attempt.
