OMODA 5: initial engine shaking or rough pull-away after battery reconnection
Symptoms
- After the battery terminals are disconnected and reconnected, engine shaking or rough pull-away may occur during initial driving. [1]
Possible causes
- The engine control system is relearning and adapting; the manual lists the behavior during this specific phase as normal. [1]
Checks
- Check whether the battery terminals have just been disconnected and reconnected and the system is in the initial relearning phase. [1]
What to do
- Initialize as described in this section: after reconnecting the terminals, switch to ON, wait 15 seconds, then switch to OFF and start the engine. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the adaptive learning situation after battery terminal disconnection and reconnection described in the official UK OMODA 5 Petrol manual; do not use it to explain persistent engine shaking or shaking in other circumstances. Scope: unknown [1]
