Awesome. Next question: Will the sport mode remain the same on next engine start? If so, this is probably the best solution and you saved $100! If you must reselect sport mode every time when starting engine, we are back to the same problem as the button defaults to ON for ASS.
Your starter on your engine takes an enormous amount of power to turn your engine over everyime. Thus putting a lot of stress on your electrical system. These new electronic computers running your engine will eventually start to have issues over time. I'm sure they are protected electrically somehow, but even the biggest surge protecters become vulnerable over time. We ask you, why put all your electronics under so much stress just so the car companies can meet the federal Cafe standards? Who do I give my hundred to? Enjoy your beer my friend....
That is a good idea about sport mode. No wonder I never noticed my coming on because I always have mine in sport mode. Thanks for the reminder! I'll have to rethink everything..
Do you know what a capacitor is? Understand anything about electrical engineering?
A capacitor stores an electrical charge. A G-mov suppresses voltage spikes and they don't last forever. When you start your car up when you get in it, the electronics are not on until after your engine is running. When your car shuts off at a traffic light, your electronics are on and "could" be vulnerable. Besides that, starting your car puts a lot of strain on your battery, why would you want to start it so often then? I would question your electrical engineering knowledge if you didnt know that....
Because the ASS system has been around for many years and has been designed from the ground up to not prematurely wear out any mechanical or electrical components.
Most of the time AS/S doesn't bother me, but I hate it when I park my truck. When I come to a stop the truck shuts off before I can put it in park. Then I put in park and the truck starts, then have to I shut it off.
