It didn't go away immediately after the next restart, though it did go away after a few minutes of driving (after that restart) and remained normal thereafter.If it doesn't go away with a restart, my first thought would be an issue with the secondary battery.
Perhaps that secondary battery needed to charge up a bit?

just had the battery replaced on my '18 JLUR at 35k miles for the same issue.
it's a manufacturer quality issue. I turn off ESS always because I hate it.and the secondary battery still failed. You want to have it replaced before it becomes parasitic to the main battery.

The ESS system monitors a lot of functions. If it doesn't become ready, there is an underlying issue that needs repair. Many times it is the secondary battery. It could also be a bad sensor or switch, or even a defective thermostat that keeps the engine from getting up to the required temperature.Mine has been on since I purchased my JT (going on two weeks). Dealer messed around with the battery couldn't really see what he was doing and it was still on. I told him I never planned on leaving it on anyway, asked if it would mess anything up and he stated it wouldn't. Should I be concerned or just let it be?

@amsobhBought my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland 2/20/2020. Have had the whole radio replaced due to non functioning radio a week after purchase. The came the Auto Start/Stop System issues. I have had serviced a few times and they have replaced the batteries, etc. Then again last week the issue reoccured with the Servicthe Auto Start/Stop system and the Jeep service center at the local dealership is going to create a "STAR Case". Something about the engine not reaching the right temperature which may be causing the Auto Start/Stop system to be disabled but they arent sure. They dont want to keep replacing the batteries and send me off. In a rental but really just want my Jeep back and working.
