You can bypass or automatically default the ISG to "inactive" a few seconds after starting the vehicle.Hi, newbie here. I'm not good at forums so hopefully I don't offend anyone. I will start by saying I am NOT a Hyundai guy, but since we do have one in the driveway, I led me here.
I basically joined this forum specifically because I want to know how to permanently disable the ISG. I read that one member says to stick a toothpick in the button to hold it down. I want to go one better... has anyone just simply bypassed the switch by connecting the switches hot and grnd wires together, and if so, did it work?
Please let me know. Thanks
Go to Post 11 in this thread. https://www.santafeforums.com/isg-idle-stop-go-also-known-auto-stop-t14269.html It will take you to another forum, where this is documented in detail. Read it, and if you still have questions, message me and I'm sure we can find a solution you can work with. The other forum will give some specific details on a way to default it to OFF but can be done with many variations of what is posted in the details.
To make it simple, here is what is in the other thread, post 11:
Just FYI... there are some ways to default ISG to OFF (inactive). Some methods are more involved than others. I've documented some of these in another forum. Of course, you can review and see if any method appeals to you and your needs. Hope you find what you need.

Every time I start my car, it automatically defaults the ISG to OFF. I built a custom wire harness so it is plug-n-play and no splicing of wires. However, the same can be accomplished by splicing wires. And can be done for as little as $30. By the way, I would not recommend just wiring the hot (ISG control) and ground together as the original switch has a resistor in it (200ohm). The ISG control wire is from the ECM (main engine computer). Review the documented information in the other forum and contact me if you have questions or want to discuss it in more detail.
