No idea but still running fine. Interesting that it is connected to the BMS, likely as it needs to know the status of the battery and if no status then it errors on the side of caution. Just a complete guess but after 2 years we have had no codes or issues on the sport or defender

Not really a cheap shot, just being realistic. And yes, I’ve been in Rome several times but would never even attempt to drive there, as they are in their own class when it comes to craziness. Have you ever driven in Florida? It appears there is a State law forbidding you to use a signal at any time, for any purpose. Heck, even the County Sheriff’s Deputies and Florida Highway Patrol rarely use them. Yesterday saw a guy make a U-turn on I-95, with traffic doing 80+ mph around him by slowing to a crawl in the left lane, then driving across the grassy median, where it is usually a mud bog after the rains we’ve just had. Miracle he didn’t get stuck. Unfortunately. Not to mention the Jeep driver that drove onto the sidewalk and passed 20 cars on the right because he didn’t want to wait for the light. Until you drive here, “you ain’t seen nuttin”.Originally Posted by _Allegedly
Cheap shot. Much to their chagrin, Rome is still in Europe and nothing beats it for worst drivers.

You forgot the blue hairs at 15 mph in a 55 zone, the cataract glasses that block all the peripheral vision and the infamous Highway 19. Yup, lived in FL for years and it's a melting pot of scary for sure!Originally Posted by WTFChuck

do your software updates still install properly? part of the update process is checking the battery level, hopefully that also doesn't err on the side of caution :P. if there truly are no other side effects this is a neat trickOriginally Posted by gurka01

I have done this on my 2020 Defender and 2020 Range Rover Sport and so far after a year no issues. The dealer does once in a while reconnect when I take it in for service though

Black connector with the little green tab on it
Follow up question - and you've not notice it effect any other functions or features?!?

and no I have not noticed anything else amiss with the truck. No lights, warnings ... etc. Same as on the Range Rover Sport. The only thing that you notice is that when the truck tries to go in to AutoStop mode you see the A with a cross through it on the dash indicating it has not been able to activate.
