It may be because the start-stop function is turned off, or the start-stop function is temporarily suspended when the battery power is insufficient. Here is relevant information about auto start-stop: 1. Introduction: Engine auto start-stop automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (e.g., waiting at a red light). When it is necessary to proceed, the system automatically restarts the engine. Its English name is STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of systems that control engine start and stop. 2. Function: By implanting an enhanced motor with idle start-stop function into a traditional engine, the engine is completely shut off and does not work when the vehicle meets the conditions for idle parking. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly starts the engine, and connects instantly, thereby greatly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

I also encountered this issue when driving my Magotan - the engine wouldn't respond after auto start-stop shut it down and I pressed the accelerator. Actually, there are quite a few common causes. A weak battery is the prime suspect, especially older batteries used for 2-3 years - insufficient voltage makes the system stop working. The brake vacuum sensor is another vulnerable component located in the engine bay; if faulty, the system won't detect brake signals and refuses to start. It could also be due to unattained oil temperature or activated high coolant temperature protection. Also check if the start-stop fuse in the engine compartment is blown - pull it out to see if the metal wire is broken. The most annoying culprit is loose wiring connections, especially in cars with aftermarket dashcams that may interfere with the CAN bus. I suggest trying jump-starting first. If that doesn't work, scan for trouble codes. It's best to visit a dealership to check ECU computer data. Regular battery maintenance can prevent such issues.

My Magotan also had this issue before - the car wouldn't move after stalling at traffic lights when I pressed the accelerator. Here are several points I checked: The declining battery performance affects most, as older car batteries can't handle frequent start-stop cycles; Dirty sensors in the electronic stability system may misjudge vehicle status; The system won't start if the steering wheel isn't properly centered or seatbelts aren't fastened; Also, heavy battery load when AC is cooling can trigger protection. Pay attention to these small details regularly - simple solutions include turning off AC or resetting the start-stop button. If problems persist, check whether the control module program is frozen or inspect if the generator belt aging affects power supply.

I've encountered this issue with the Magotan as well. Mainly check three areas: A failing battery can directly cause restart failures - have the starting voltage tested at a repair shop, if it's below 9.6V that's the problem. Then the brake switch sensor is crucial; if faulty, the system thinks you're pressing the brake pedal fully and prevents startup - a simple test is repeatedly pressing the brake to listen for sounds. A blown small fuse in the engine compartment fuse box can also cut the circuit. For DIY solutions, try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to restart; if that doesn't work, replace parts or have a technician reset system parameters. This most commonly occurs during cold winter starts - remember to check for loose sensor connectors during maintenance.

This is a common complaint I hear from Magotan owners when repairing cars. The system won't respond if conditions aren't met, like when the oil pressure hasn't reset after just turning off the engine, or when the onboard computer detects the car is tilted and thinks it's on a slope. High power consumption from running the AC too much can also prevent startup. First, rule out operational issues: try closing all doors tightly and fastening seat belts before pressing the accelerator. On the hardware side, focus on checking for throttle carbon buildup causing sluggish response, or oil contamination on the crankshaft position sensor affecting signals. It's recommended to visit a dealership to upgrade the transmission control program and avoid excessive audio modifications to prevent electrical overload in daily use.
