Start/Stop Off

Start/Stop Off explained — how it works, related DTCs and how Softechpro does it with automatic checksum correction.

What is Start/Stop Off?

Start/Stop Off permanently disables the auto start-stop so the engine never cuts at idle, set once in the ECU map (no button pressing every trip). Softechpro applies it directly in the ECU calibration and recalculates the checksum & CVN automatically, so the file is flash-ready.
