Mazda i - Stop Initialize (Battery Initialize)

[@raygao5368]

Following the instructions to push the I-stop for 10sec, I got solid amber light. Tried the whole process again but got the same result. Then I decided to have a test drive first instead. Started the engine, solid amber light at the beginning, then disappeared. After my speed increased to a certain point, the I-stop light appeared with green color. Then everything was back to normal. Adjusted windows and all done. Thanks for the instructions and comments from other owners.

[@Camouflage2770]

Just changed the battery on my Mazda 2 and got these i-stop gremlins. Worked a treat thanks mate!

[@steveweatherly1965]

Got a new battery today, the guy said no need to register it to the car it will do it automatically, thank God I found this guide to get me to register it. Very easy to understand and simple to do even for an old f**t like myself

2014 Mazda 6, the light positions does not look the same in the video but this method works and fixed the problem. I followed the step, it doesn't instantly fixed it. The warning was still there. I left the car there for 3-4 hours and then the istop light back to green and warning gone magically.....

[@ianomeara6263]

That’s the same year for my Mazda 5 I will wait.

[@jointara100]

Perfect! Worked like a charm first time. Saved time and money going to Mazda :) Just follow the steps as described and you’ll be good. Love it.

[@MateuszPlewa]

Mazda 3 - 4th gen 2019 I just wanted to thank you so much. It worked. But had different problem. I’ve had info that oil should be changed. And with it istop stopped working. I thought that after reset of oil change the issue will be resolved. Not at all. No errors, istop was not working due to not ready engine. I’ve tried some resets. After 2 weeks of trying, your method helped. So for everyone who has a car like me. It’s working. Thank you so much.

[@ew-s]

Saved me $90 quoted by Mazda and very easy to follow procedure. Worked first time after putting new battery in. 2014 BM Mazda 3 Diesel

[@skeelsjames]

Another step worth adding is after you have connected the battery you need to close the bonnet/hood, there is a switch on the bonnet catch that needs to be in the closed position to get the amber light to the green state.

Kept getting the flashing amber istop light instead of the green. Went ahead with the next steps anyway - steering wheel lock & the rest. IT STILL WORKED - i-stop re-enabled successfully - so if you don't get the green flash don't lose hope, try the rest of the steps anyway.

[@indrakarmawan7455]

Great video. In my case, the istop light didn't turn to green, it went away after the long press of the button. I thought it wouldn't work, but continued with the the rest of the procedure and it worked. I tried on Mazda 6 2018

[@glennshewin9788]

Thanks for the video,i have just fitted a brand new battery, (Q85 MF Century) and i have a 2018 Mazda 3, with the 2.5L engine, i found i only had to do the first few steps and it worked, i disconnected the negative terminal, unclipped the sensor, waited 5 minutes, connected the terminal, waited 10 seconds, connected the sensor again. I got in my car turned on the ignition, waited 15 seconds, pressed the istop button for 10 seconds, the istop dash light stayed flashing on amber, i thought something wrong with the battery?? i turned the ignition off, tried the same procedure with the ignition again, this time the istop dash light did not flash, but stayed on a solid amber color, i pressed the istop button again and the istop dash light went out. i pressed the istop button again and the istop dash light came on and stayed a solid green. I took the car for a test drive and everything back to normal, istop is working correctly, warning lights in the dash gone.

[@crg92]

Not working for me 😢 I do everything up to the point it turns green and says go to nect step, as soon as i go to the next step qnd start the engine it goes back to flashing amber again straight away. Battery is only a few months old, shows green on the battery itself and ive even tried charging it. Dont know what to do now

[@gh8284]

Same, did you fix it?

[@x-raydjen338]

I have the same problem. Let me know if u found a solution

[@rogerbrowning8014]

If I-stop isn’t working your car may need a long uninterrupted run on the motorway for at least 15 mins to clear the DPF filter. Don’t use the brake, keeping the revs over 2.000. Mazda recommends this about every 2 weeks to keep the DPF filter clear (improves mpg too👌🏻)

[@asfakhri]

The i-stop light never turns green in 2019 cx-5 but doing all the steps still works in the end

[@kwikmechanic6844]

Is this the same procedure when you replace the battery? My Mazda 3 skyactive has a agm battery. Do I remove the old battery and replace it with a new battery and then follow the steps from where you connect the negative terminal in your video ?

The Istop light did not appear on my Mazda cx-5 I have a 2018 2.0 active. The only light that has appeared on my dashboard was a orange hazard sign. However the above guidance is what appeared on the digital board. Does this mean that I just need to replace the battery. Car has been standing in a dealership for the last 6 months

[@George-ss2fy]

So is this definitely the battery and not the alternator? As mines just done this yesterday then It went off but has since come back on again?

I replaced the car's i-stop brain. however, it went out when the vehicle stopped, did not overlap again and gave an i-stop failure. Has this problem ever happened to you? What are your recommendations? Thank you.

[@krzysztofk5277]

I replaced the battery. The I-Stop works properly. Do I need to initialize battery?

[@NigelEber-bf1th]

Didn’t work for me as per few others here. I can get i-stop light flashing green after reconnecting the negative terminal and battery sensor (and closing the bonnet - tried that at 2 different points in the sequence). However the battery malfunction light never turns off. It’s a brand new battery and we’ve been driving all week without i-stop. When I start the engine it goes back to flashing amber - nothing works from step 8 onwards for me. By the way second time in the lifetime of the car we’ve changed battery as it’s a 2018 CX-5. Maybe the car’s just weird.

[@CalThePal]

I'm in the exact same situation! Noticed you posted this 4 weeks ago, any luck since then?

[@NigelEber-bf1th]

@@CalThePal Unfortunately, no. We decided to live without i-stop and figured another year or two of extra battery life would more than make up for the fuel saved using i-stop.

[@NigelEber-bf1th]

@@CalThePal True. We’ve changed battery twice now - once every 3 years. My old Camry could go 5-6 years per battery. Couple that with the labour cost of recalibrating a new battery at a Mazda dealership = $$$$ that could be saved without the pesky i-stop. I think Mazda just does it to comply with Euro emission standards.

First slide the little grey tab outwards, then press the end of the tab downwards causing it to pivot- this releases a small catch. Now pull the whole lot away from the terminal.

If your SOC number dropped before starting the procedure start the car and turn all the lights on with high beam on and hazards ,let the alternator recharge the battery.it will increase the soc number.Then your light will turn green .Thank me later

[@taufiqhakimi9494]

Works like a charmm

[@geniegenie2453]

No doesn't work. Tried for 3 hours. Something is not adequately explained and the procedure is not consistent with some of the comments anyway. I just get a steady amber istop on the display, even with a brand new fully charged battery. So I never get past step 7. Did that loop about 14 or 15 times. Even ran the car for 30 min to make sure engine hot and went back to the start of the procedure. Same outcome. The whole istop concept is seriously flawed, you just wreck batteries faster = more battery waste, more cost, more money for garage workshops. There are no savings at all.

[@HuuTonyTran]
