Electrical Fault Warning
I'm getting an Electrical Fault Detected warning.
23.3 110 V8
9,000 miles
It seems to be triggered by the Auto Start/Stop feature. When the car turns off with that feature within a few minutes the warning comes on. Once the engine is back on, warning goes away. I'm 900 miles away from home, seems like I should be OK to make it back as long as I keep that auto start/stop OFF. Has anyone had any experience with this issue?

I just got the same warning yesterday while driving home.
2024 Defender 110 SE

Went through the forums to see what others had done, and tried :
1. Made sure alternator belt was not broken,
2. Verified that battery has full charge
3. Drove around neighborhood for15 minutes - warning still there
4. Tried turning auto start/stop off - warning still there
Looks like I'm going to have to take it to dealer.

There is a 'service action' on the starter generator - think it's a software patch. N846. See link below. Others with this issue have found this resolves it.
