So not an issue, but when I disengage the start/stop, sometimes I get the yellow Bang icon on my dash display, but normally not so much.
Have you seen this issue/non-issue, or no.
It does not influence the way anything operates, I just find it odd.....

Take it to the dealership.

I agree with the take it the dealer comment. The ESS disable icon coming on when you disengage is weird. Usually it will come on before if there is something disabling it.

Most problems I have seen are either the ESS secondary battery low/faulty or a pending but not posted misfire code.

As an update, Uconnect gave me this error message:


The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
What does it mean?
Certain conditions, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
How is my vehicle affected?
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flammable materials such as dry plants/grasses, paper, cardboard, wood, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others
What should I do?

The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.

That's a VERY generic message basically saying if you ever see the MIL, get it checked.
It's nothing specific.

Yeah, Captain Vague was flying all through that message.
It was as if it said "We have no clue, but you`re stuff is broke".
Excellent form of communication.

You'd swear that Microsoft wrote that system. I used to love the server error messages, they even had an error number you could look up and often when I looked up the error number on the Microsoft support area it was something like "undefined" or "general fault". They may as well just plain said "we have no clue, don't ask us".

Yeah...
M$ still sucks, and now so does Jeep.
A message is a message for a reason.
I get it`s a logic board, but it ends up being an oxymoron in the end.
Might as well call it Linux > post-update.
