the fact is fuel in Malaysia is dirt cheap so the autostart stop function that saves fuel is unmeasureable compared to the wear & tear parts and labour for it.

other countries like US /china using RON92-95 and the price per litre is much more expensive than us.

and also it will need around 1 or 2 seconds for the engine to start before moving. then theres this issue; for elderly, when the light turns green, release the brake step gas while the engine is starting, causing high rpm and jerks to the front after the engine started.

consider buying the module or a tuning shop where they can disable the eco idle function

The auto start/stop function is the most useless feature in modern cars.
They should just offer this as a priced adder option for the tree-huggers.
The rest of us would be damn happy to do w/out it.

It is advertised as a fuel saving feature.

I was reading and told otherwise

Here's the thing, takkan the manufacturers didn't know the uselessness of that thing when it was under product testing ? They did test the damn thing didn't they or they sounded like that's what the product salesman said or their brochure said and we believed in it wholeheartedly shit. Did they actually think that this useless product is simply going to over the rakyat heads ? Surely there must be some kind of incentive to push this useless product into the mass market. Otherwise who the hell in the right frame of mind is going to damage their goodwill ?

To me, it only saves fuel... No money.

The engine turning on and off for so many times will wear out the engine mounting a lot faster.

So money saved on fuel goes to replacing engine .mounting.

A lot of useless features are invented to meet fuel efficiency goals and emissions regulations.

Save fuel in controlled test environments at the expense of reliability due to increased complexity. To add salt to injury, the savings is negligible IRL.

disconnect out. let me try a few trip ya

cluster blinking eco off. the same one when u press button
dtc not trigger error
that it. that all. ada upah for me ?

Is there a way to program the ECU to permanently disable the auto start/stop feature ?

Get rid of this annoying crap once and for all.

y need program at all.

So that we dont hv to deactivate it each time during engine start.

TS, what car you driving? If Myvi, can disable it directly from the meter.

i baru deactivate so easy. cabut wire only.
refer pic above. settled zero cost required

u mean eco indicator or eco idle. pls teachs me expert

Both can be disabled. From meter cluster, on odo screen, long press the button, inside you can choose to on or off eco and idle.

ada example link tak.
btw he is camry not mvyi

Excellent mate. TQVM will try this on the client's Myvi after the battery replacement.

I believe what matrix88 meant is this video below. It only turns off the ECO light.

eco light only. not d idle off
