• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

When my car comes to a complete stop, the ISG would trigger the engine to shut off or remain on if it’s not ideal to shut off. This works normally and haven’t had any issues. However, I noticed when the engine isn’t ideal to shut off, it makes a click noise as the orange “a” appears on the cluster. Anyone experience this or know why it clicks? Is this normal?

No, clicking is not part of normal ISG operation. When my orange “A” indicator lights up, there is no audible click.

Is it happening exactly when you come to a complete stop, or only when the indicator LED illuminates? Maybe a relay that was not properly secured somewhere behind the dash?

It’s only right when the orange indicator comes on. Well good to know it’s not normal so hopefully I can get it fixed..
