    Got a week old new car and was wondering why the stop/start wasn’t working… checked the battery and it’s at medium/low on the battery tester so that’s why the stop/start isn’t working.
    Thanks for this info. Saved me having to hit the garage.

    Excellent Information. I had iss8and I checked my main and auxiliary batteries.
    Aux was fine but main was done.
    Soon as I renewed stop/ start eco worked again.

    Still a great motor and efficient too.

      I have paid a fortune for a battery to get my stop start function to work (just so I can then turn it off)
      All I want is a battery that will not let me down in cold remote areas when I go into the mountains to freeze my spherical appendeges and when I get back to a frost frozen car I NEED it to start to get home, and of course initially to defrost/thaw the car and me .
      The Stop Start working is only on before going on a trip, then I will switch it OFF to preserve my starter

  • @intruder313
    @intruder313 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'd deduced a lot of this a week into owning my first car with Stop-Start but also noticed that it tends to manifest as the car deciding it will or won't work at the start of a journey and then nothing I do on that journey will change it! I do noticed the failure tends to be on the outward journey after sitting for a a day or so so I guess it's almost always down to the battery charge (I was doing things like turning off the AC and even the heat/fan down).
    I've decided to stop worrying about it now :)

    This was so helpful. My fiat 500 randomly shut off the stop/start and it worried me! especially since i had just serviced and MOT'd my car that month. Turns out i just needed some coolant and the aircon had shut it off as said. Thanks mate

    • @MTMMotorServices
      @MTMMotorServices  ปีที่แล้ว

      Although if your coolant has dropped since having a service that may need looking into.
      Coolant level should have been checked and topped up during service

  • @jessekozma8213
    @jessekozma8213 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    To completely resolve this issue..... Turn that function off and never use it again.
    One of the hardest things your car will ever have to do is start. It requires all of the battery power, repeated use of the starter motor and also provides you with a lovely lag when trying to go forward.
    If you think about it on any given day for running errands you might start your car four to six times. When using the stop start function you're looking at 20 to 60 starts. The brushes in the starter motor will wear out prematurely, your battery is at constant strain.
    Save yourself the headache and disable that function.

    Ok, I have a 2017 ford escape titanium 1.5L FWD. I just did a transmission swap.( old one died, had hard shifting problems and then after driving for over an hour it just wouldn’t go into gear and got stuck in a high gear and just burnt up trying to get it to a parking lot) the transmission swap went really well but now I have this one issue. The auto start stop will do a hard shift when cutting back on, this sometimes doesn’t happen if the auto start was active longer than 30secs to a minute, ( it’ll work as normal) but if it was activated at like a short stop ( ie a stop sign) it’ll do hard hard shift then drive normally… the adaptive values and KAM was reset to my knowledge with the new transmission. Any thoughts on what the issue is?

    • @MTMMotorServices
      @MTMMotorServices  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Air conditioning tends to be engaged via an electronic clutch. Within the AC compressor.
      With the AC running, the interior fans will also be assumed to be running which is a large power draw on the system, especially with the engine off.

      If you have a bad/wrong battery the Start stop system will usually recognise that and become disabled. as for parking sensors, some cars when voltage drops bellow a certain limit can shut off auxiliary systems in order to preserve power. we would recommend getting the issues investigated by your local garage.

    On short trips of 5-7km the battery does not charge more than 70%, that's if I still light up the position and "force the charge"
    After 50% the battery no longer charges with 14.8 decreases to 12.8 and with the positions on it charges by 13. 8.
    Disabling the start stop doesn't help much.
    Do you have any idea of a "trick" to trick load management into sitting in 14.8V?

    Had zero issues until now :(
    Car from new to now very, very low mileage 6000 miles.
    Took it to Hyundai for its first year service.
    Came back all good. Their report said both batteries have stong charge.
    However, now just 1 month since the service.
    The stop start 'A' LIGHT is coming on dashboard and cutting out the engine braking and gets to 15 mph when the car is STILL MOVING?!

    I have driven two rebadged Opel diesel Insignias with this system. It stopped working in both cars at around 65000 miles. The second car has had a new battery and over 130,000 miles and it still doesn't work. Also when it worked it would not operate after about 3 or 4 cycles in traffic whether in town or on the motorway in a traffic jam. The particulate filters in both cars were in full operation. The second car also has Adblue fitted to reduce NOX emissions. Frankly the stop start system was just a gimmick.

      It's likely there are underlying problems. It is likely there are stored error codes in computer memory of the car and this also stops the stop start from working as its a safety feature.

    I understand how it all works but does battery management look at volts or the amps in the battery. Because if the volts are there im seeing the systems are still trying to work. But the amps are not there causing another issue. What do u think.

    • @MTMMotorServices
      @MTMMotorServices  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It looks at amperage, but it also monitors how well the cells maintain a charge and it determines a "state of health" aswel as a "state of charge" this can take 24hrs to monitor. because of this, some people opt to charge the battery slowly with a "trickle charger" often leaving it charge overnight to bring the battery back to tolerance.

    • @samuraijt
      @samuraijt 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MTMMotorServices cheers for the reply. But do all manufacturers battery monitor systems look at amps. Only reason i ask this is vag stuff i believe looks at volts. If it looked at amps then stop start wouldn't have a issue. I.e. stop starting a lot in one month on short journeys kills the battery. Where as someone who live i countryside dont have issues as there able to charge the battery enough.
      Would u advise people in heavy condensed cities to switch the system off if they are stop starting in a 5mile drive more than 50 times. As ive seen a person stop start more than 200 times in a drive cycle and 8 times the system failed where they had to manually start the car. This in my eyes is a human error not car system error. Education advised on stop start, etc. What do u think. Cheers.

      You can take it for aong drive in order to charge up the battery. But the best way I have found is to put it on trickle charge with an at home charger and leave it overnight.

    Really useful video, thanks so much. My new car's reversing sensors aren't working at all. A future video on this topic would be so helpful. My car's a 2016 Citroen DS3 1 6 Diesel. Thanks again. 👍

      are your reverse lights working? most aftermarket reverse sensors are linked to the live for the reverse lights, so this is something to check.
      otherwise if they came as factory standard then they could have their own separate live. if you have your owners manual, you could locate the fuse and check that hasn't blown. there are a few other things that can be checked too, so ill keep this topic under consideration for a future video. Thanks for bringing it up.

    Hia mate my honda civic 2012 once started on the 1st start stop 1 min away from my house kicks in but on that 1st start stop once the car restarts it has a loss of power or accelaration causing almost a stall, is this normal? After this the car will run perfectly without any issues or problems

    Mine actually said auto stop start not available Due to vehicle charging.The Wal-Mart automotive services suggested that I unplug all the USB ports Drive around a little bit and come to a complete stop and it should work And sure enough they will right. It worked again. Most of all, do not use accessory mode at all when parked.

      Some vehicles have to be reset via diagnostic machine to let the far know that the battery has been replaced.
      Other times it can take up to 24 hrs for the car to recognise a change itself.

    Stop starts stopped working on my 63 plate corsa. Coincidentally I'm losing water from the cooling system ..wonder if it's linked?

    • @MTMMotorServices
      @MTMMotorServices  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The car has to first come to normal operating temp before it will work. So depending if it is listing a fault code or not reading the temperature properly. That could be part of the problem.

    • @ewoodrailway
      @ewoodrailway 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      MTM Motor Services thanks for the reply. Oddly I reported the stop start not working on its last main dealer service. Vauxhall wanted £75 to run a diagnostic test which I'd get refunded for if the fault was covered by the lifetime warranty. Surely they should have spotted the water loss as they replace anti freeze on the service so maybe not. I noticed it was losing water as the fan would come on after around 7 miles (this was a long time after the stop start issue). Once I replenished the anti freeze and water the fan didn't come on. It is losing water still though. Had the corsa from new it's now 7 years old and this is the only issue I've had with it

      @@ewoodrailway they should have picked up a leak on service. I would address that first before looking into the stop start problem. As I said in the video, it could very well be a battery issue causing the stop start to not work.

      MTM Motor Services agreed and thanks. The oil doesn't look like mayonnaise which is good but the water is disappearing quickly. The filler cap doesn't seem to tighten but it's booked in at the garage next week. It'll be used as little as possible and the water replenished before use to keep it going.

      @@ewoodrailway if your cap doesn't tighten then it's likely the system isn't pressurising . So the water could be boiling and the steam/vapour can escape through the cap if it isn't on properly.

      Hi, unfortunately the Start/Stop function is implemented on modern cars as a way to reduce emissions. Because of that, the Start Stop feature isn't able to be removed permanently. Some cars do have a button in order to manually deactivate the function however, this will reset the next time the engine is switched on.

    • @oojimmyflip
      @oojimmyflip 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not true, The Citroen C5 AIRCROSS has an available plug in module to deactivate and reverse the automatic on feature when starting the engine, instead the stop start is off automatically when starting the engine until the driver switches it on.

    Use a cheap smart charger and charge the batteries over night. My Volvo gives a low battery message and start stop doesn’t work( it tells me in the settings that it’s unavailable because the battery is charging) doesn’t get driven long enough distant to charge it so The battery charger will do it and charge the support battery as well.

      Hey Bella, if there's an error warning on the dash, a garage should be able to look into this for you.
      There may be a trouble code stored which could point you in the direction of the fault.

    Hello, very nice video, thanks!!!
    What can you advise me on my case
    My van (Peugeot Expert 68plate)
    I stop at traffic lights for example and
    When I press the clutch to start the engine (or simply press the button for starting the engine)
    I hear a screeching loud noise and the engine doesn't start at all and I need to restart it manually with the key(which starta perfeclty)
    So what might be cauaing the problem?
    I'd very much appreciate if you share somw of your thoughts and experience.
    Thank you!

  • @Hoser_eh

    Excellent explanation. I do after stopping and when stop/start isn't working most often see the circled "A" stop/start icon with a diagonal line through it, with the text "For Climate Control" next to it at the bottom center of my display (2022 Rav4). It displays for a couple of seconds after the car's stopped, then disappears. The car's less than two weeks old, and the dealer's service dept. has me waiting 10 days to get in! Any thoughts on that error message? It makes no sense.

    • @MTMMotorServices
      @MTMMotorServices  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the car is new, it likely hasn't had a good enough run to fully charge the battery,
      They should do tests to conform this when they have the vehicle in. But 9times out of 10 when I was in the dealer, this was our main issue.
