Why would you want to disengage the I-Stop? They are there for a reason, to shut the engine off when you are at the lights ect, to reduce polution and save fuel. And you think you are smart. But your not.

I did all this two days ago which appeared to work as all the orange lights went off. However, this morning they came back on again then disappeared again. Maybe it’s a fault on the dashboard? Weird how the sensors been completely disconnected yet still allows the amber istop lights to illuminate. Anyone got any suggestions?

On my 2013 Mazda 6 it works, my car no longer shuts off and I don't have an i-stop indicator on the dash, however I have noticed that when I lock the car, my car lock light does not respond even though it does. When unlocking the car all 4 lights work, has anyone had this problem and how did they fix it thanks!

Seems to work fine on my Mazda 6 GtSp my 2023, but I’m going to reconnect the switch because I’m concerned it might interfere with the active bonnet function. The owners handbook warns the bonnet must be closed for the system to work, so maybe the switch informs it.

I'm not sure as I've personally never seen this issue. A quick google search suggests this could be a battery warning so iStop won't enable. I'd suggest you check to see if any other lights come on as well and try to find the source of the issue first.

If its a 17 it's probable on its original battery ( jap writing on it is a clue) they last 6 -7 years. If your istop is on all the time your stop start probably isn't working. Reset stop start ( KZitem it piece of piss) or get a battery test done.

⚠️ Disabling the start/stop function by bypassing the open hood sensor disables other functions as well. When the sensors signal that the hood is open, the car goes into a kind of safe mode to allow the mechanic to do his work and also to prevent injuries. So in addition to disabling start/stop, the turn signals will not flash when locking the doors and the hood will not jump up in case of a pedestrian accident, and maybe some other functions will be disabled.

So far the 3 different Mazdas I've done this to (2013 M6, 2019 CX3, 2017 CX5) have all seen no other noticeable effects. I check carefully with each one. Eg alarms, signals blinking on lock/unlock etc. I've checked them all and they all remain functional. I'd love to know about the bonnet jumping up in event of an accident, but I struggle to see why an important safety function could be disabled by accidentally not shutting the bonnet properly.

I'm not 100% sure as the earliest car I've done this to is a 2013. I've seen a lot of verification comments up to about 2022. If your car has iStop it's worth seeing if the switch is there and then you can try it if you like. It's easily reversible as you can see from the video.

The deep cycle battery is double the price of a normal battery. So, the extra $250 you pay on the cost of a battery every 3 years, is equal to or more than the cost of the fuel saving, depending on how much driving you do & the type of driving you do, city or country.

Did this on my Mazda 6 2016. So far , no warning lights and no overall driving issues. Had the Battery Management System Malfunction and the I-eloop warning display on the instrument cluster upon start ups intermittently. Probably from the limited usage of the car. I have the proper battery installed and tested the battery to be good. Did several resets and still the warning lights would appear. I wanted to avoid the "Replace the Capacitor" route as others would suggest since I pretty much wanted to get rid of this I-stop feature. Hope this "hack" holds up

Yes, your fix did work on my CX5 - THANKS - the (expletive) i-stop had been annoying me for years and Mazda just said you can't turn it off so learn to live with it... BTW, the switch is a warning device that activates when the bonnet/hood is not fully closed, the master warning light will stay on and the -stop light will flash. The manual just says take the car to your Mazda Service Centre to locate and "fix" the problem. It took a bit of Googleing to find out what the problem might be, not the most important warning device that car can have, a warning "BEEP" to say the car didn't lock would have saved me the loss of a few items when I thought the car had locked while I was walking away from it, my previous car would go loudly nuts if it didn't lock on command...
