How to Restore Mazda's Start-Stop Function When It Fails?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to restore Mazda's start-stop function: 1. Method One: First, drive the car normally for about 20 minutes, then find an open area. Maintain a speed above 4 km/h, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right. Repeat this several times, then drive normally for 10 minutes and check if the start-stop function has been restored. If unsuccessful, repeat the process. 2. Method Two: Visit a repair shop and seek assistance from professional technicians. Introduction to Mazda's Start-Stop System: The start-stop system in a car refers to when the vehicle is temporarily stopped, meaning the engine is not in the traditional idle state but completely shut down. However, the engine's lubrication system continues to operate, maintaining the internal lubrication as if the engine were running. This facilitates the engine's quick restart. When the brake pedal is released, the engine can restart without suffering from insufficient lubrication due to the brief pause, preventing excessive internal friction and wear, which helps in engine maintenance. If the start-stop function fails, it could be due to a malfunction in the body control module, issues with wiring or sensors, or insufficient battery voltage, among other possible causes. If you wish to attempt restoring the start-stop function yourself, you can try the methods mentioned above. If the issue persists, it is recommended to have the system inspected and repaired.
