Thanks for this, good to know -
I have a similar issue, my S/S won't work, but as with you, I stalled recently and the auto SS kicked in and re-started the car. Altho' the battery appears OK, I suspect it is a replacement as the car is 8 yo, but hasn't been correctly coded to the ECU. I don't get any indicators that it is inoperative either, but If I use the button to deactivate I do get the strike-through light appearing.
I would like to get it working but not so bothered that it doesn't right now.. in heavy traffic I find it annoying/ worried it will wear the starter too much.
