What is the reason for the constant flashing of the yellow light on the Mazda CX-4 i-stop?
1 Answers
When the i-stop yellow light is on, it indicates that the auto start-stop system is turned off and cannot function normally. The use of the auto start-stop feature is subject to certain conditions. If the car's battery does not have sufficient charge, the battery temperature is too high or too low, or the seatbelt is not fastened while driving, the auto start-stop system will not operate properly. Here is some related information: Principle: The principle of Mazda's i-stop is similar to that of the engine auto start-stop system. By integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, the engine completely shuts off when the conditions for idle stop are met. When it's time to move again, the idle start-stop motor quickly responds to the driver's command, rapidly restarting the engine to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Default Activation: Under normal circumstances, the i-stop system is activated by default (green when on, yellow when off). When the vehicle comes to a temporary stop, the engine automatically shuts off. Pressing the accelerator will restart the engine normally. For simple troubleshooting of the i-stop yellow light issue, simply reactivate the i-stop system.
