Saw your video 10 minutes ago and I went for a test drive I can confirm this actually works no stall no nothing no engage on the autostop what so ever 🤙
I have a 2018 Equinox and the auto stop actually locked up the brake and the car wouldn’t start. had to have the car towed home. Was going to have it towed to the dealer ship the next day went out the next morning and the car started. Searched for how to disengage the auto stop and this video and a short popped up giving the same info. Brilliant!!! Tried this and have been driving for over a week now and no issues!!! Showed my wife and daughter. Thank you so much!!!!
Omg, this such a life saver! My car was stopping, stalling, and just plain turned off at a stop/stop light saying my battery was on auto saver but yet had the battery and alternator checked, and all was good, yet it kept acting up all last week and this morning. I was so bummed and embarrassed when it stopped, I found this video about 7-8 months ago and tried what was instructed on the video because i hate this feature that chevy has added to this model and im sure other models too. Anyhoo, I didn't worry about it so much until this morning when my car went out, yet the battery is good. Well, I finally put this advice to work today and no stalling, no automatic shut off, turn on (I hate), no shutting down completely at a stop, I'm absolutely happy, chevy wanted to charge me $180.00 for a diagnostic test and to change my battery with installation would have costed $220.00. I will run this for now on in this mode and give an update in a week 🎉🌸
If you're uncomfortable doing this, there is a very easy way to defeat auto stop while driving. Simply pump the brake pedal lightly when you are approaching a stop. The computer will think you are in stop and go traffic and will not engage auto stop/start. One or two pumps and you don't even have to lift your foot from the brake pedal. It becomes second nature after a bit. Our Chevy salesman showed me this trick when we picked up our 2017 Cruze.
This is pretty much what i have always done. But basically just ease on the brake and never push completely down. But if the auto stop does engage i lift off the break slightly til it disengages but car doesn't move. When light changes or its time to go i move effortlessly. But Chevy should just put a button like most other vehicle if they insist on having it equipped.
@@tjpont2149 I do the same thing in my 2018 GMC Terrain, It is now a natural thing without thinking about it. On long stops (train crossing or bridge opening) I do still use auto stop to save on the gas just running for no reason...
We have a 2019 Equinox, using this trick for 3 years now, works great. Also when you get to a winding mountain road, I select 3, better handling and saves the brakes. I was a mechanic for 35 years, I can tell you disable auto stop, it will save you from having future problems, that are related to the auto stop system. 🤓
@@PocketAcesforRonPaul auto start stop vehicles are fitted with a battery more than triple the capacity of a regular car battery. They also use an entirely different starter for the auto start stop system only that has been completely reengineered for this heavy usage
You, and about a million other people have worried about this same issue. How stupid, to equip a vehicle with such a maddening and component-wearing device. I can only imagine how much Mr. Goodwrench would want to install a new starter. Sheesh!
it does work.... tried it on my 2019 equinox.... i hate auto stop and its really not that good for your engine.... this is such a relief to actually have a method to bypass it

Kudos for a very good direct-and-to-the-point presentation of the "fix." I recently bought a 2019 Chevy Equinox with the 6-speed and simply put it in "L," set it to "L-6" with the little "+" sign, then drive away. I also talked to the shop manager at the dealership where I bought the Equinox and he assured me that it would not harm the vehicle at all and that it also would not affect the extended bumper-to-bumper warranty I bought.

Thank U so much. I loved the vehicle, however it gets really annoying when the engine keeps stopping. In fact, I would really question just how much fuel that is being saved. It's just not worth putting something like that within the drive train. Again, thank you for sharing your auto skills!!
Please watch my video how to permanently disable start stop feature once and for all. it only takes a minute to disable it. th-cam.com/video/rBxw2-JIbVE/w-d-xo.html
Me too. I think most people like the vehicle (I have the same one too) and I find it to be really annoying. Might be good for the car jackers though.................
I believe later cars have an “autostop off” button. Of course you have to touch it every time you drive. The last I looked you could get a “flip kit” for Ford trucks that makes it default to the “off” position. It installs behind the dash. Maybe there are kits for more cars now.
This is a workaround to the auto stop. It's easier to just tap the brakes right before you come to a complete stop, the engine won't turn off. You can also drive it into a pole, off a cliff, into a lake. These too will cause the auto stop not to work. I think we are all looking to turn it off in the settings so we can normally drive the car without auto stop kicking in.
I’m going to try this ASAP as I’m having a ln issue with my 2018 Chevy equinox. I noticed there’s a lot of Malibu being mentioned for some reason. Where’s all the equinox owners lol!!? Anyway, I took my car to the mechanic for this intermittent issue that’s been happening for about a couple months after I had jerked on the steering wheel an awkward way. At the time, I think my check engine light may have came on briefly. Didn’t think anything of it after it went away & passed the all point inspection at dealer for a routine oil change with no other issues to report. Now every time I come to a complete stop & car goes into auto stop, there’s a series of signals that come up on my dash in this order when I release the brake back into drive mode; traction control on (which it’s always on), emergency brake release, service break assist. Then my radio shorts out for a quick second as well. This happens no matter how long I’m an auto stop mode of course mainly in city driving. Now for the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing the car staying in auto stop mode unable to go back into drive once I release the brake. I have to tap the brake again to wake the car up it seems as it showed no response to hitting the gas as if the car was in neutral. Vehicle checked out again at the dealer for not having any issues with their all point inspection. I then took it to my mechanic to run a scan and they said several diagnostic codes came up as if the system was going haywire with maybe one module possibly affecting everything. The car in general seems to run fine with the exception of these issues. Strangely enough after taking the car to my mechanic over the past three days, I noticed the problem isn’t happening as much now and is less intermittent, but it does still occur every day. Anyone have any feedback on this issue? This issue is what brought me to this post. I’m assuming if I turn it off or disable it that it will eliminate this problem that could potentially affect my engine or transmission. When I spoke to one of the service drive guys at the dealer they mentioned that they had a recent case of an equinox doing something similar and supposedly repaired the issue and not duplicate the problem was replace the battery which I’m sure the battery was fine and One of the modules. I have a feeling the dealer got over on this person by switching out the battery. My battery is also testing just fine. But the mechanic can’t seem to figure out which module they can possibly replace if needed.
Have only drove a couple of vehicles with auto stop . It was really easy to figure out that all you needed to do was be easy on the brake pedal and the engine never stopped. Don’t push pedal all the way down when you don’t need to .
I just got the 2017 Malibu and I was so afraid until I remembered that my friend has a car that auto stops. I thought the dealership had gotten over on me.😁😁 I will try this out in the next day or so. Thank you for an easy and to the point answer.
Blessed day I’ve followed the tutorial exactly how he said and it work exactly like he said it would. Thank you so much I like the auto stop not engaging I’m not a fan of the auto stop at all and I didn’t know how to turn it off until I watch this so thanks Mr. sorry I didn’t catch your name

Hey mate, I’ve been trying to figure that fuse out since I first read your comment. How do I do that? I own a 2018 Traverse 3LT. Please help me here. Thank you!
For the folks concerned that auto stop will wear out your starter quicker just google it and you will learn that it does not. The modern starters work differently than the old starters did and most of the wear on a starter brushes does not occur during the crank but in the starter wind down after the engine is running and with an already hot engine this is significantly decreased. Since I do a lot of stop and go driving with a lot of red light time involved I will leave mine active to get every bit of fuel savings I can.
It does not save fuel...very little if it does. It is purely an emissions work around. Sales people at dealerships sell it as a fuel saver...it does not. Simply makes tree huggers feel all warm inside. I've ordered the delete harness for my vehicle
i have auto stop but since i learned how to handle im ok now i have 2020 eplorer with 179k miles on it and im never change the starter yet or evern chnange my battery 😅
❤ Thank you Sr. ...😂 Well this tip really game me a way out of the problem. My car Dealer tryed to rip me off telling me that my warranty doesn't cover a replacement of the part that controls the malfunction of the Auto Start. They said the part (Multifunction Power Supply Converter Module) cost 327.00 and 125.00 installation. Shit I checked online and I can get a genuine part for less than 70.00 new. For the moment Im running the can fantastic with the Auto Start deactivated using the car as you recommend to bypass the Auto Start.

Practice applying lightest brake pressure possible right before you stop. Training your right foot and auto stop is negligible. If you come up to a stop light you can also shift into neutral until the light turns green. If you get stuck waiting for a train just shift into Park.
I have been driving my 2018 Equinox using this method for the past 3 yrs and works great with no issues to the vehicle.

What also works is putting your a/c temperature to the lowest setting. That eliminates having to put it in L gear all the time.
How does that method work?
I’ve noticed that too. If you have the ac on the Lo temperature setting, the car won’t shut off at red lights.
@marvinpatton6736 it had to be on the low setting and on for this to work
Eureka!! It worked on my '18 Malibu!! I no longer have to deak with my car shutting off at every stop at every light, every drive thru, everytime I come to astop sign. Thanks for making this video, always having to put it back into L6 is slightly a nuisance, but not that bad
Had no idea it was this easy.. Thank you
does it work?
Awesome sauce! I don't have the +/- sign on the shifter, but I found a button on the side that did it. THANK YOU!!!
I totally get it man thank you because i was wondering who keeps following that keeps having to restart their vehicle .. But yes i will try this in a min on my 2017 cruze
Bruh the pain is real. Not knowing if the vehicle will restart or you gotta throw it back in park and do it manually

Thank you so much i hate this feature so much. Found the video this morning and it works!!! Thanks again.
Do you have to do that every time you start the vehicle or after you do it the first time you're good
every time you start your vehicle
We just got our 2020 chevy traverse and this video is a lifesaver!!! Thank you!!!
Thank U so much. I loved the vehicle, however it gets really annoying when the engine keeps stopping. In fact, I would really question just how much fuel that is being saved. It's just not worth putting something like that within the drive train. Again, thank you for sharing your auto skills!!
Charlie it does save some gas but can you really put a price in happiness 😅

I already tuned mine out, but I have to say this is a brilliant free mod. Well done
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! 2019 Equinox here and it was driving me MAD!!
S Justice you are welcome 😅
Me too. I think most people like the vehicle (I have the same one too) and I find it to be really annoying. Might be good for the car jackers though.................
So you have to keep it in low.how do you get to stay. Permanently i want to go back to D
@@tonyh4502 just shift up to D...but then the auto stop is enabled again.Go to L and hit the + button 6 times till it reads L6. your good
S Justice or your highest gear. Mines goes up to 9 so make sure you go up to the highest gear
Wonderful news, I have been reluctant to buy a new vehicle but now understand a nice work around
Thank you. Just bought a 2020 Equinox and the start stop was driving me crazy. Works great..Thanks again...
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
I believe later cars have an “autostop off” button. Of course you have to touch it every time you drive.
The last I looked you could get a “flip kit” for Ford trucks that makes it default to the “off” position. It installs behind the dash. Maybe there are kits for more cars now.
OK, MY GMC TERRAIN 2019 WORK EXCELLENT THANKS ...
Thanks for making this really easy the Auto Stop was diving me nuts GM should I just put a switch and then make it on and off but thanks a lot again
Chevy DID add a button FINALLY haha
This is a workaround to the auto stop. It's easier to just tap the brakes right before you come to a complete stop, the engine won't turn off.
You can also drive it into a pole, off a cliff, into a lake. These too will cause the auto stop not to work.
I think we are all looking to turn it off in the settings so we can normally drive the car without auto stop kicking in.
mine shuts off at 30MPH ugh Hybrid model I was think of a manual switch tapped into the hood sensor
Lol 😂 I hate auto stop 🛑 frfr
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Good answer
I heard unplugging your hood sensor works im about to try it rightnow lol
I can't even do that sometimes, i'm not even fully off the brake yet and the auto stop comes on it's so frustrating 🥲
I’m going to try this ASAP as I’m having a ln issue with my 2018 Chevy equinox. I noticed there’s a lot of Malibu being mentioned for some reason. Where’s all the equinox owners lol!!?
Anyway, I took my car to the mechanic for this intermittent issue that’s been happening for about a couple months after I had jerked on the steering wheel an awkward way. At the time, I think my check engine light may have came on briefly. Didn’t think anything of it after it went away & passed the all point inspection at dealer for a routine oil change with no other issues to report.
Now every time I come to a complete stop & car goes into auto stop, there’s a series of signals that come up on my dash in this order when I release the brake back into drive mode; traction control on (which it’s always on), emergency brake release, service break assist. Then my radio shorts out for a quick second as well. This happens no matter how long I’m an auto stop mode of course mainly in city driving. Now for the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing the car staying in auto stop mode unable to go back into drive once I release the brake. I have to tap the brake again to wake the car up it seems as it showed no response to hitting the gas as if the car was in neutral.
Vehicle checked out again at the dealer for not having any issues with their all point inspection. I then took it to my mechanic to run a scan and they said several diagnostic codes came up as if the system was going haywire with maybe one module possibly affecting everything. The car in general seems to run fine with the exception of these issues.
Strangely enough after taking the car to my mechanic over the past three days, I noticed the problem isn’t happening as much now and is less intermittent, but it does still occur every day. Anyone have any feedback on this issue?
This issue is what brought me to this post. I’m assuming if I turn it off or disable it that it will eliminate this problem that could potentially affect my engine or transmission.
When I spoke to one of the service drive guys at the dealer they mentioned that they had a recent case of an equinox doing something similar and supposedly repaired the issue and not duplicate the problem was replace the battery which I’m sure the battery was fine and One of the modules. I have a feeling the dealer got over on this person by switching out the battery. My battery is also testing just fine. But the mechanic can’t seem to figure out which module they can possibly replace if needed.
What, where is auto stop located! I have a 2018-LS! It never stops and start!!
Awesome video! Thanks so much. Didn't understand why my 2018 chevrolet malibu would stop and start. Glad I found yout video. Thank you.
You are welcome
Thank you so much. Auto stop has been driving me crazy
Short, sharp and clear! Thank you so much!
Have only drove a couple of vehicles with auto stop . It was really easy to figure out that all you needed to do was be easy on the brake pedal and the engine never stopped. Don’t push pedal all the way down when you don’t need to .
I just got the 2017 Malibu and I was so afraid until I remembered that my friend has a car that auto stops. I thought the dealership had gotten over on me.😁😁
I will try this out in the next day or so. Thank you for an easy and to the point answer.
Blessed day I’ve followed the tutorial exactly how he said and it work exactly like he said it would. Thank you so much I like the auto stop not engaging I’m not a fan of the auto stop at all and I didn’t know how to turn it off until I watch this so thanks Mr. sorry I didn’t catch your name
You are so welcome
Thank you. Just bought an Equinox and that auto stop freaks me out so thank you very much!!

Holy shit this is helpful!!! I have a 17' Malibu I just got and will DoorDash in it and I can't have this auto start bs going on 300x a day!!! There's no way that's not gonna jack up the starter and battery in short time.
Hey mate , there is a fuse you disconnect under the hood. It takes five seconds and stop start function will be disabled once and forever. It is the only permanent fix. I have successfully done it to my equinox
Hey mate, I’ve been trying to figure that fuse out since I first read your comment. How do I do that? I own a 2018 Traverse 3LT. Please help me here. Thank you!
Does it disable the remote start?
Thanks alot. We appreciate this valuable information that you provided.
Thank you so much for the explanation of the low gear shift. I’ve always wondered how it worked.
I wondered that as well as my grandbaby
Yup it worked for my '17 malibu thank you
I’m saving this shit in my favorites
Works like a charm for my 2016 Malibu thank you soooo much !!
For the folks concerned that auto stop will wear out your starter quicker just google it and you will learn that it does not. The modern starters work differently than the old starters did and most of the wear on a starter brushes does not occur during the crank but in the starter wind down after the engine is running and with an already hot engine this is significantly decreased. Since I do a lot of stop and go driving with a lot of red light time involved I will leave mine active to get every bit of fuel savings I can.
That is correct, most people just do not like the feeling when it turns off
It does not save fuel...very little if it does. It is purely an emissions work around. Sales people at dealerships sell it as a fuel saver...it does not. Simply makes tree huggers feel all warm inside. I've ordered the delete harness for my vehicle
thank you 😊
What about messing up your Transmission going from Drive to full stop. auto shut off to reverse is a tricky situation some times
i have auto stop but since i learned how to handle im ok now i have 2020 eplorer with 179k miles on it and im never change the starter yet or evern chnange my battery 😅
❤ Thank you Sr. ...😂 Well this tip really game me a way out of the problem. My car Dealer tryed to rip me off telling me that my warranty doesn't cover a replacement of the part that controls the malfunction of the Auto Start. They said the part (Multifunction Power Supply Converter Module) cost 327.00 and 125.00 installation. Shit I checked online and I can get a genuine part for less than 70.00 new. For the moment Im running the can fantastic with the Auto Start deactivated using the car as you recommend to bypass the Auto Start.
2016 Chevy Cruz Owner it works
Just bought a used 2019 Traverse last year. I will have to try this, this weekend!
Thank you! I will enjoy my 2020 Equinox now!

Not sure what i liked more. The information or the accent? Both are great.
Thank you so much I did not test drive my vehicle before I bought it I was in a hurry due to health issues.. drive it out of the and dealership parking lot and flip the biscuit I hate the stop and go ignition..
You are welcome o
I have a 2020 equinox. My auto stop doesn’t engage all the time and I thought that was a problem. I have to check what gear is it on . Thank you for explaining.
What a brilliant simple fix, thank you.
This method is waaay better than the last video I saw. They disconnected a wire harness close to to hood latch.
Thanks for your explanation, my doubt is : after shift to L should we increase and decrease the gear manually or car will do this automatically?
Mazin Alkaradii it will do it all by itself
if you set it to D6 it will go through all the gears exactly the same as in drive.

Great, thanks for sharing. It works on my Equinox 2020. Im also succeed to find position of break pedal when car is stopped let say on Traffic Light but sometimes quite incomfortable.
Stupid question. Do I keep my foot on the brake when shifting to LOW? Sorry. I have always owned older cars. This is my first new car and the auto stop is driving me nuts.

You do want to keep your foot on the break 😊
Thanks for that vid. My wife hate the car because of that feature.
Your and many other wives hate it, including mine 😂
Practice applying lightest brake pressure possible right before you stop. Training your right foot and auto stop is negligible. If you come up to a stop light you can also shift into neutral until the light turns green. If you get stuck waiting for a train just shift into Park.
You going to ruin your transmission
Amazon sells a wire harness that works great. Ties into hood latch switch. Mine for gmc terrain.2020
Thanks. I tried it today in my 2017 Chevy Malibu. Works great! 👍
I’m glad I could help 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Got to be a more permanent way
So u have to do this everytime u start the car??
Bless 🙌 I Appreciate Yu Takin The Time Ta Make This Video
Good job buddy. Nice video.
Be Logical thank you
great explanation Amigo, cheers from Texas!
Thank you! I’m going to try this right now.
I tested this just now!! Thank you!!!!
