I think if you keep the aircon on the eco won't work

Sorry, it doesn't (well, climate anyway). It is certainly one of the factors the system takes into account, and it may prevent the engine stopping if the aircon is under heavy load, but it certainly will stop with the climate on.

 HI all,

I have had issues with the start stop (SS) system and thought I would share the faults and how finally it will be repaired.

The SS has a Ultracapacitor and SS ECU module under the fender next to the battery. You can only get to this system by removing the wheel and wheel arch black trim.

The system consists of a 5V Ultracapacitor (2x 2.5V Ultracaps in series) and the SS ECU that switches in the Ultracapacitor booster to restart the car in 400ms via the reverse motor alternator. Yes, the restart is via the alternator with 4KW of kick from this Ultracapacitor.

Current faults:
P1AA2 - Voltage Retaining Device: Internal Electronics Fault
P1A9C - Energy Accumulator: Accumulator State of Health Fault

I will upload pictures once a member of the Ultracapacitor and SS ECU. I have purchased these second hand and going to replace both units.

 @EdMonty did you fix the issue? I'm having the same problem with my C4 2012 1.6hdi

Fault codes P1AA2 and P1A9C came after alternator belt snapped. I have checked the wirings for any damage but everything looks okay apart from the connector plug to the crankshaft position sensor which was shattered but it was repaired by a mechanic.

 What finally fixed mine after the Citroen dealer wanted to charge me £500 as they said it wasnt my battery and needed to investigate was a new battery. Followed a youtube video on how to remove it. Was a bit of a hassle due to its positioning but after watching the video carefully took me about an hour. Eco now working.
