When I’m on the road with our company vehicle (Audi A4), it irritates me more and I think that it is rather detrimental to comfort. I personally don’t really need this automatic start-stop. So there is no free sulfuric acid inside, which means that the battery can be operated in all positions. This stands for “Absorbent Glass Mat” and means that these are lead-fleece batteries in which a glass-fiber fleece is saturated with the electrolyte (sulfuric acid).
You will certainly be able to reduce fuel consumption and thus pollutant emissions in the city (according to the manufacturers, between 5-15%), but the components must also be designed for frequent switching on and off and this is of course reflected in the vehicle price and the price of the individual components.įor example, such vehicles run with so-called AGM batteries. With an improved charging strategy, the IBS also extends the battery life by 10 to 20 percent. The sensor improves the diagnostic capability of the car and enables warnings of possible breakdowns, even if they are not caused by the battery. In addition to monitoring the battery, the IBS also helps in the detection of defective electronic vehicle components, since it also monitors the quiescent current. The sensor is essential for the reliable operation of vehicle start-stop systems. The IBS continuously analyzes the status of conventional 12-volt lead-acid batteries and provides information on parameters such as state of charge (SOC), starting ability (SOF) and aging (SOH) of the battery. What is Intelligent battery sensor (IBS) for? The one on the right is only linked to Auto Start-Stop. Don’t worry, it won’t show you hood open warning in dash, as the button sensor on the left is for that purpose. The method is a little different in Wrangler, pull up the button type sensor that detects closing of the hood and unplug the wire beneath it.

The IBS sensor is located on the main 12V battery under the hood. The system is no longer able to detect the battery condition and goes into bypass mode, permanently disabling the Auto Start-Stop.Īfter removing the sensor, you will see an alert “Start/Stop Unavailable, Service Start/Stop” in your instrument cluster screen every time you start your vehicle – but it goes away by itself after a few seconds.Remove the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) plug connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
