Disabling the idle timer on a DAF using software — Idle Timer Disable

We offer an Idle Timer deactivation service for DAF trucks , which allows you to remove the automatic limitation of engine idle speed.

The factory timer is designed to reduce fuel consumption and comply with environmental standards, but in real-world use it often interferes with the normal operation of the equipment.

When to disable Idle Timer

People contact us when:

• the engine automatically stalls at idle
• it is impossible to warm up the engine for a long time
• difficulties arise when working in winter
• long-term engine operation while parked is required
• additional equipment is used (stoves, refrigerators, etc.)

What does disabling the timer do?

After the service is completed:

• the engine does not turn off automatically
• the possibility of long-term idling becomes possible
• operating comfort is improved
• additional equipment is working correctly
• the car becomes more convenient to use

How we do our work

We disable the Idle Timer programmatically via the ECU:

• connecting to the car’s system
• read the current settings

All changes are carried out safely and without interference with the mechanical part.
