What are the reasons for the automatic start-stop not working in the Tharu?

[JustinRose]

The reasons for the automatic start-stop not working in the Tharu are as follows: 1. Accidental button press: Vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop usually have the system enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it might be due to accidentally pressing the automatic start-stop button, which turns the system off. Check if the system has been disabled. 2. Conditions for automatic start-stop: For manual transmission vehicles, the conditions for enabling automatic start-stop are more complex. The system will only activate when it recognizes the following three actions after stopping: "shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release the clutch." 3. Specific situations: The function will not activate under the following circumstances: the engine has not reached normal operating temperature, the automatic air conditioning has not reached the preset temperature, the battery charge is insufficient, the steering wheel is turned after stopping, the vehicle is in emergency braking, or the vehicle is reversing.

I just bought the Tharu not long ago and noticed that the auto start-stop function sometimes doesn't work, which is quite annoying. Through exploration, I've learned it might be caused by insufficient battery power, such as frequent short trips where the battery doesn't get fully charged, causing the system to automatically disable this function. Additionally, when it's too cold in winter and the engine temperature is too low, it also won't start. I remember once when I was stuck in traffic with the AC on, the start-stop directly failed. Later, the manual mentioned that high electrical load would limit the start. It's important to maintain battery health, checking the voltage every six months to avoid frequent issues. It's also good to warm up the car before long drives, as these small habits can prevent a lot of trouble.

The automatic start-stop function in the Tharu not working is actually quite common and simple to diagnose. Firstly, the system will automatically disable when the battery voltage is insufficient, especially with an old battery or in a low-charge state. Secondly, if the engine coolant temperature hasn't reached the optimal operating range, such as during the initial cold start phase, the function will be skipped. Additionally, high electrical loads from accessories like air conditioning or headlights can also cause it to temporarily deactivate. Through frequent checks, I've found that stop-and-go city driving tends to trigger these issues more often. You can troubleshoot from these aspects—keeping the battery fully charged usually resolves the problem.

The auto start-stop system of this vehicle is controlled by multiple sensors, including battery status, engine temperature, and vehicle load. The reason for not activating could be low voltage due to battery aging or abnormal sensor data such as throttle position. High engine cooling system pressure during hot weather may also affect it. I understand the battery is crucial in start-stop systems—it's recommended to check voltage and current with specialized tools. If no error codes appear on the dashboard, it's likely a routine maintenance issue.

As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I've found that the start-stop issues in the Tharu are often caused by battery problems, such as insufficient charge or power leakage. First, use a simple tool to measure the voltage; if it's below 12V, the battery needs to be charged or replaced. If it's not a battery issue, check if the fuse is blown or if there's a fault in the engine control system. It's advisable to visit a professional workshop as soon as possible to scan for error codes with a diagnostic tool. Additionally, try to avoid frequent short-distance driving in daily use to protect the battery's lifespan and reduce such malfunctions.

The auto start-stop system not working not only wastes fuel but also affects comfort, which is commonly seen in the Tharu due to a weakened battery or minor software bugs. It is often disabled during cold starts in winter to prevent engine damage. I usually pay attention to avoiding frequent use of electrical devices while driving and regularly test the battery health during maintenance. Before long trips, I ensure the system is functioning properly. If any issues are found, I don’t delay and get them repaired promptly to avoid safety risks and extend the vehicle's lifespan.
