that's the point where you should be taking it in. when things don't work and errors are present.

we cant diagnose your car online. it has an issue, let the manufacturer fix it. this is what warranty is for :)

OBDEleven says battery is fine but you are right, it could be the start-stop system. I will speak with my friendly Skoda Service people about it :-)

Fair enough - did booked a service slot with dealer but thought since got the OBDeleven handy, why not?

OBD11 is a great product, and VERY handy to have in cases like this. but the fact it kept happening means no amount of OBD11 resetting will fix it :)

Saw on another site that a persons stop start wouldn't activate after they had a dash cam installed. I had a dashcam installed and I know that wherever they have piggybacked their fuse to has the camera in parking mode working intermittently. On searching I have found that the best fuse to piggyback to is fuse 40 for the cigarette lighter. The car is going back in to have the piggyback fuse for the dashcam relocated so I will see if that has some effect on scan error of current too high :-) It's all fun!

Could be just anther electronic gremlin - experienced with quite a few European-made cars in the past.

Good thing is that’s a one-off and post error clearing none of that pops up anymore so all good now. :)

I found that the engine has stopped completely and I have to put the car in park and start the car manually. Thankfully it hasn't been a big problem because it has happened whilst entering my driveway/garage. Thought I would post this here in case it is a known issue before I talk to the dealer tomorrow. I did see something about a problem whilst in ECO mode but I am in Normal mode.

Finally managed to replicate the said issue, TWICE! Only happens when you took the seatbelt off and the start/stop kicked in.

Doesn't happen when I keep my seatbelt on. Tried multiple times in the same garage, same inline.

I guess the car somehow thinks that you will be getting off the car and shut itself down. Another one of "simply clever" feature perhaps?

It won't let the stop/start restart the engine if the seat belt is off or the door is open.

Tks, I too yesterday figured out that it was caused by disconnecting the seat belt. :-)
