What is Engine Auto Start-Stop Malfunction?
1 Answers
Engine auto start-stop system malfunction manifests as: the starter operates longer than usual, and after barely starting, the engine speed remains around 500r/min. Sometimes you may hear the starter operate briefly and then stop immediately. When you press and release the brake pedal again, the starter can resume normal operation and start the engine. Most auto start-stop malfunctions occur when the control unit detects that the vehicle cannot start normally after stalling. Things to note about engine start-stop: 1. Do not use the air conditioner when auto start-stop is enabled. If the air conditioner is used, the engine will start within 10 seconds. When auto start-stop is enabled, the air conditioner will not cool but only blow air. If the temperature difference between inside and outside is too large, the engine will restart, and frequent starts and vibrations will significantly reduce passenger comfort. 2. Do not use auto start-stop in traffic jams. Turning off the start-stop system improves passenger comfort more than reducing that tiny bit of fuel consumption. Additionally, stopping and restarting the engine results in slower acceleration, making it easier for others to cut in. Turning off auto start-stop reduces excessive engine wear caused by frequent starts and stops, and more importantly, prevents slow acceleration. 3. Do not enable the start-stop system on slopes. When temporarily stopping on a slope, avoid using the start-stop system, as releasing the brake may cause the vehicle to slide directly. The engine may not start in time, leading to insufficient braking power assistance, which can easily create dangerous situations.
