How to completely disable cylinder deactivation?

[nickswhip24]

Hi all-first post here...just got into a used 2024 CE CX-5...what can be done to remove, delete, say goodbye to cylinder deactivation?

It’s a joke that a 4 cylinder car needs this-i know someone can make this happen...reached out to some folks who do tunes and had no luck.

Can the solenoids just be unplugged to get it done? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

Not possible as far as we know.

Only way you're gonna remove it is to buy a different car. Would be nice if there was a button to disable it like I-Stop.

I don’t think my Mazdas have this "feature", but I am curious… is the vehicle doing something that is noticeably undesirable?
For the record: I dislike cylinder deactivation and start/stop engine technology.

You can unplug the electrical connectors to both solenoids and it will stay off. If your ECU is supported by current tuning software you can then turn off the codes they set so you will not have a CEL.

Have you done this?

thats great, i think from 8-24 on mazda ran short of some parts needed to do "C/D" so maybe your car was early 25?
Is it noticeable-that is subjective..to me...it is ..and why need a tourqe converter or engine repair to save some gas...isn't mazda the zoom zoom car
