BQ34Z100-R2: LIFE bit never sets

Part Number: BQ34Z100-R2

Tool/software:

I am testing a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery. 

I set bit 2 in pack configuration B to enable "LFPRelax: Enables Lithium Iron Phosphate RELAX mode" (even tho it is enabled by default)

I am logging the state of bit 14 in FlagsB- "LIFE: Indicates that LiFePO4 RELAX is enabled."

The state of the LIFE bit has never changed- it is always cleared.

Please advise.
