How to Disable the START&STOP System

Model: (Various brands) Various

Video tutorial

The START&STOP system is designed and installed in vehicles solely to reduce CO2 emissions. The system automatically switches off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, such as when waiting at traffic lights.

However, many drivers fear that this system may damage the engine and therefore disable it using the dedicated button, usually located on the central dashboard. This action is not permanent, so today you will learn how to disable the system permanently.

The first method we recommend for disabling the system is to remove the cable that connects the sensor to the battery. The second method is to connect a diagnostic computer to the vehicle and disable the system by modifying the ECU. The third method is to install a buffer memory, a cable that connects to the vehicle's onboard computer and the Start&Stop button, which will permanently store the system's shutdown.
