This will get better response in the relevant Soul forum. I'm sure a mod will facilitate this shortly

TBH, ISG has so many variables that can cause it not to work. It is very hard to guess at why. Diesel are even worse than petrol as they have higher cranking needs due to compression being higher.
Odds on if you have not been using car much, then it is all down to battery not being in the right range for it to work. As Kia's have a lovely charging system that works up to 85%, then will only top the rest up on overrun, there is a good chance that many drivers never fully top the battery up.

Did the 2014 Soul, in any of its derivatives, have ISG? My Sport 2017 certainly doesn't.

Looks like they did fit ISG to the Soul but possibly not in the UK .. this site is American by the looks of things

2020 Kia Soul Idle Stop and Go (ISG)

I know that I can set the ISG button so that it does not shut off at a stop but how can I make this permanent? I dislike having to push the button each time I use the car. I would like to change the setting so that my engine never turns off at a stop. Is it possible? How?

Thought it was a big plus to discover the sport DID NOT have ISG.

We have a 2014 '64 Plate Soul Diesel and it doesn't have a Stop-Start System (ISG?).
