P05BEStop-Start Mode Switch Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- The stop-start off switch lets the driver disable automatic engine stop for the current drive. It is read directly or via another module over CAN – on Stellantis' 2025 Ram 1500 it sits in the electronic shifter module. CARB names a stop-start diagnosis as its example of an emission-neutral diagnosis, so no warning lamp is required; stop-start is usually just disabled. P05BE means the switch circuit voltage is too low – a signal or reference shorted to ground, or with a resistor ladder a voltage below the lowest valid step. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code.
