You're missing the point. ICE engines were not designed to work like this. It's not a golf cart. The constant stalling and restarting of the engine causes unnecessary wear on the drivetrain, not to me

Nice introduction post....    My hybrid F150 would stop and start multiple times just driving.... My Ram also had stop/start as well most vehicles built now. You might want a little more pat

I installed the Auto Stop eliminator.  It turns the feature off and allows you to turn it back on if you want.  It basically makes the default position off instead on.  It does require minor dash disa

I don't like it either but at least we have the option to temp disable it.  Wife was in an Equinox loaner while her Cadillac was in for service and it had no option to turn it off.  

 

There was some guy who was looking to build a relay type of box to auto disable it but not sure if he ever got anywhere.  You'd have to search the forums for it.

Am i missing something with this?  I dont even notice the truck shut off or turn back on?  Also you can double pump the brake qhen you stop which also bypasses the start stop every time.

Well since I don't put my foot on the brake and then keep holding it down until I stop.  I pump mine all the time.  Maybe that is why my brakes last so long.  :)  So if that is the case then when I get my truck, the auto start stop will never kick in.  :lol:

Yea I guess you are. It's annoying.

I am hoping Range will come out with a unit that will disable the DFM as well.  I sent them an e-mail to see if that is in the works.



I doubt it because it is no longer as simple as on/off.

The unit he linked too works to disable DFM and the Auto StartmStop on 2019s

If you go to the table it shows that it only goes to 2018 Silverados.  The 2019 models are for the Corvette, Camaro, Colorado, and Caprice PPV.

My stop/start deactivates when the AC is on.  Being in Central FL that is 95% of the time anyway.

You must like your temp Cold because once mine get to set temp the Auto Stop activates even with the AC on!  However, I do not mind it in the least and have noticed a MPG inprovement with it especially in stop and go traffic.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
