Thank you so much. I trained in a Freightliner. And when they gave me my own truck I got a Kenworth and no one showed me how to work this thing. This has been a big help
Super glad it helped
They just gave me a KW truck 🚚 yesterday but I trained on a Fraightliner so I really don't know anything about KW trucks . I had to wake up at 3:00am and watch this video. The temperature outside is 40° right now, I was freezing 🥶 inside the truck but this video just saved my life 🙌
This video is perfect! My company put me in a truck I didn't train on, doesn't even have a manual smh. Then they wanna send me to PA, I'm glad I found this on time, works perfect!
That is great to hear, subscribe for more on time videos!
Thank u soooo much...yeah idk y they give us a whole 'nother truck knowing that all I was ever taught was out of a Freightliner ,I mean everything is completely opposite,all the Freightliner was really used for in training was the basic of the driving skills, backing up,etc. Which the Trainer still showed us how to use the Amenities in the truck knowing we're not going to have the same truck but I can say it does gitty up better than the Freightliner,the drive is real smooth....great video... straight to the point
The owners manual managed to leave this out, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been baking in my truck for weeks. It actually worked for me.
I'm glad you are no longer baking, save that for your cakes and cookies!
Thank you so much. I was wondering what that little button did. Amazing, and thank God Kenworth has opti-idle finally.
Glad it helped, but you might be sad to know that KW has discontinued auto start/stop systems with their new "Next-Gen" truck. I was pretty sad to hear this.
@@DDTruckDriver I’m in next gen KW and I still have auto start and stop. I’m in 2023. You helped me started it because in 59 degrees I am still hot as hell.
@@joshuagelona5533 You might want to check out our next gen video: ruclips.net/video/vsx2EQ1gmwQ/видео.html
....it worked!! Thank you very, very much!! Had a Freightliner before getting assigned a new KW....Like you said in your video, this idling setup for A/C in a KW is completely different! Thanks again!
Yes and even I have a hard time remembering how to do it each time I would jump in our 680s. Hopefully the 680 Next Gen is much easier to operate it.
@@DDTruckDriver Wao !! Men!! Thanks 🙏🏼
I just did this to my 2019 kenworth T680 and after some time it started giving some warm that I slept well and after wake up in the morning my battery voltage was low and couldn’t start my engine any idea on what can cause for the truck not starting after the battery goes low the truck should have started on automatically to charge the battery right? thank you so much
I would say this helped better than kenworth. Thank you sir.
Glad it helped!
great video.
So i have a 2021 t680 with a paccar. Sometimes the auto start works, most times the batteries drain past the point of having enough to start it and gives me the LVD lights. Any idea as to why it’s not starting when it should?
So now why is the engine not stopping?😓 it turns on great but then it wont shut off
The fans will turn off once the temperature is reached but the truck keeps running
Same question I was wondering and my battery 🔋 is also at 100% but truck is still running..the whole point of having this was to cut down idle time save fuel ⛽️ and be comfortable
I did exactly as you did and got the same message but I don't hear the heat turning on at all.
What are your cab HVAC controls set to? What are your sleeper HVAC controls set to?
Thank you so much❤
Sending holy hug to you my man , I learned through you and its really work
During the summer months to use the AC, is the sleeper hvac blowing cold air or is it pushing hot air while using the start/stop system?
It does whatever you need, it uses the trucks HVAC to produce hot or cold air depending on what you need.
Good video. I drive a 2021 T680 Kenworth when I use auto start my horn beeps twice how do I fix it?
We have looked into this extensively. You don't, unless something changed in the last year they consider this a necessary "safety" feature. When in reality it is more of a "prevents you from sleeping" feature.
So my recommendation, find the power line to your horn and put in an on/off switch. You could also look for the fuse to your horn and pull that out while you sleep. But don't leave it out because if you get inspected it is a violation if it doesn't work.
If you open the door after you arm the auto start the truck will pull the horn after it dose interlock check my trick is to arm it with the door cracked then close it and it thinks I'm still inside so I can get out at will after without reading the sys again......just for the next confused drive lol
I dont have that button but i have the idle management system screen just like the video. But it doesnt turn on. Does it have the switch somewhere else?
did you figure this out i don’t have the button either but i have the veneer auto start button in my bunk???
Just curious on if I’m doing something wrong but it’s 94 on the dash but it won’t start and when the battery gets below 50% it still will not start my maintenance team hooked up there computer and they are saying it works just fine but it didn’t work when I try
Are you getting the little green symbol on the dash with the arrow around it?
If any engine lights on or codes it will not work
@@skylerdroubay8209 yes it’s always on when I have my jakes on
@@chrcorder Well that is your engine brake light, what about the one with an arrow?
@@DDTruckDriver o yea I have that they ended up fixing this the battery connection was corroded so bad it sometimes works now but I just end up leaving the truck running 24/7
I tried this and it said “Auto start not enabled engine malfunction indicator lamp on” do I gotta take it to the shop ?
If you have a check engine light it will not allow you to use it typically
Thank you so much. I’m sweating
Thanks! It worked on my 22
Awesome, glad it helped!
My 2020 t680 doesn't have that "auto" switch....
Mine always has trouble showing the wrong percentage. When I cycle it the main drop to 0% and then it will start and I have to run it for a couple minutes for a quick charge then reset the auto start and then it will actual crank fulling.
My Kenworth t680 doesn't have that button and my APU heater is not working
Miss my Freightliner at the old company. Got this wack 2020 kw now 😡. Not even a fridge in here
My 2014 try to start itself while I was sleeping, it burned down my starter 2 time now, how can I stop this self start?
2014 is older than we have had personally so I can't say for sure because I haven't had my hands on that personally. However, in all the trucks I have used with this system it is actually cumbersome to get it to turn on. The main one being that you have to turn on the switch on the dash. So if yours is turning on when you don't want it on I am not sure why that would be.
Excellent thanks
Glad it worked, subscribe to see more "excellent" trucking life hacks!
Thank you!! 10 thumbs up!!
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU!
No problem, THANK YOU for subscribing
Hey I don't have the auto button also my cab system blow cold air in heat and ac
So you may not have the auto start/stop system. And it sounds like you may have some other HVAC issues like a heater valve closed or a blend door needing to be pushed back into place
U ROCK!!! THANKS
I have a 2018 kw t-680 I will try this method
Thank you
I'm in a 2022 with the digital screen the optimized idle has been running for over an hour and has not turned off meanwhile the coolant temp is at 208 with a max of 250 why won't the truck shut off when it reaches the correct temp
Well it is suppose to monitor 2 things. Engine temp and battery level. So it could be that it feels the batteries are too low?
@@DDTruckDriver it finally started turning on and off throughout the nite I believe it was indeed the battery level/percentage
I have a 2022, but the truck never seems to turn on. The auto start icon is not illuminating on the dash even though I hold the switch for 3 seconds like in the video. Any ideas?
@@Roflmaokanker Not exactly, in some of our trucks the icon never comes on either and I am not sure why but it still works. Unfortunately if you have followed these steps and it is not working I would be out of ideas without being able to put hands on the truck
i havent drove my truck for day & a half at a truck stop i turned the engine on for 20 minutes to charge battery and then 2 to 3 hours later i got the low voltage disconnect but. i didnt have any lights on or anything charging though... confused new driver by the way
Tough to say on that much info, batteries do go bad regularly though so that is always one of the first things I'd look at. Also I have noticed that KWs like to trigger that "low battery" beeping noise in the truck a little prematurely. What voltage does your gauge read when this alert comes on?
Starting the truck uses up a lot of power, 20-30 minutes is long enough to charge the batteries very much. If you have any phone chargers or anything plugged in or if you have an inverter or elog system in the truck there will always be a small drain on the batteries, not to mentiin all the electronics in the truck always use up some electricity, even if the truck is not on.
Just got a 2020 T680 today. Auto start seems to work but how do you get the AC or even the bunk fan to work when the engine is off?
AC can't function without the engine. You would have to have an APU to run AC without your truck engine. I believe the bunk fan would also be tied into the truck being on. When we just want air moving we buy some of those cheap fans and plug in a couple to move the air through the sleeper and reduce idle time.
@@DDTruckDriver Yeah, I was afraid that was the answer. Love the truck but going to miss the APU. Thanks.
My 2020 680 doesn’t have that and engine auto shutdown if I don’t press throttle
Shoot that means your truck was not built with that feature
@@DDTruckDriver ok thank you, I’m going to put in anti gel and pray my APU does what it’s supposed to do. I’m shutting down in Minnesota soon
My auto start and bunk heat quit working
Great 👍👍👍
I don’t have this button in my Kenworth 😢
Same here. Did you ever figure it out?
i don’t have the button either but have the system did yall figure it out
Does opening the door turn it off? Or it’ll stay on?
It is supposed to shut it off. One of those "safety" features. Although I haven't tested this myself.
Opening the door should only activate the warning so the horn will honk before it starts.
Opening the hood should disable the auto start.
Do you still have power to everything else
Yes, that is the really nice thing. Because it monitors battery power it makes sure all your outlets are working and can keep working. But you may have to adjust your power cut off at the inverter.
I don’t have this button mines a 2020 is there another way
Unless they did something different for some reason which wouldn't make any sense. If you don't have that button then you don't have that system installed.
What if you don't have that button
Then it likely means that truck was not built with the auto start/stop system.
I dont have that switch :(
Then unfortunately you don't have this system installed in your truck
My shit doesn’t start up I waited for an hour while sweating and nothing
Did you ever get it checked out to see what the problem was?
No I just idle if I have to
Mine doesnt have that button lol
Ok
Kentworth t680
was ok no load then gotta load/showing ABS light on
...😮
on the Hwy
I have a 2022 fleet. I don't have the switch. To begin with.
You have to have put it on the spec, but all trucks built in 2021 don't get it. KW took the auto start/stop system away
@@DDTruckDriver if I park overnight, running the radio. It drains the battery. And if I don't catch it. I won't start up in morning.
My freightliner had an interior convince mode which auto started to prevent battery drain. This kw doesn't have it
@@DDTruckDriver How you doing sir , i have peterbilt 2022 its a company truck and i have auto start button but suddenly in past 2-3 days when aux batery goes low it wont start truck on auto start to recharge batteries , they changed my truck batteries today and they told me that it was a low voltage in them , do u think that this could affect auto start if the main truck batteries are low voltage or so ?? and tnx , and also does key need to be clockwise or off and out of ignition ?
@@DS-oq5dq Yes it would affect it. Low batteries can make it start too much or it can catch the truck off guard and it won't start when it needs to because the truck thinks it has 12 volts because the good batteries are telling it that. But then when it goes to pull the power the bad batteries aren't there to help and it is too weak to start quickly.
@@DDTruckDriver Thanks a lot , so whats the minimum voltage for auto start to work after aux battery drains out ? i remember i woke up during past few weeks with low voltage notice and batteries were less than 12 , i think around 11.6 or so
This look like KLLM in morrow
To sum
It up: Kenworths are garbage. Especially 2024 absolute computerized trash.
This sux. It's not working. Why do they always need to fuck up something that was working!?!? Apu worked!
Now, do you know if your truck has this feature? If it wasn't built with it included from the factory it can't do it. This is not an automatic feature, it is like a $1,000 add on at the factory. If your truck has an APU that usually means it won't have the Auto Start/Stop system
the ken truck is no good , i like volvo or friethlier
