What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall When Braking?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car stalls when braking due to the vehicle's engine auto start-stop function. Automatic transmission cars usually have an "autohold" button that can turn off the auto start-stop feature, or if the brake is not fully depressed, the engine will not automatically stall. Information about the engine auto start-stop is as follows: 1. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving; when it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. 2. At red lights or in traffic jams, the system minimizes engine idling time to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
