garycoops1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hey everyone. I just bought a used 2014 Honda civic. When I start the car up after leaving it for an extended period of time (like in the morning or after a 12 hour shift at work), the cruise control won't work and the green arrows for shift up and down don't show. The only way to get it to work that I have found is to turn the car off and back on again. The problem only occurs after the car is off for extended periods. Is this an issue? What causes this and can it be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi.....welcome to the Club I believe it may be a battery charge issue which would cause the subsidiary systems to not be active until the battery voltage is showing as sufficient. Worse case scenario, replace the battery for a new quality branded one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse case scenario, replace the battery for a new quality branded one but surely if there is enough power in the battery to start the car and then to restart it again i would have thought the battery should be ok as there is more power drawn from the battery to start the vehicle than is needed to operate other systems. just my thoughts.

Trevor Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Usually when the battery is even slightly depleted then the stop/start goes offline to preserve energy. This may be due to lockdown and infrequent use. It should restore over time when used more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
