It intercepts the ECU signals that enable cylinder deactivation and auto stop\/start, restoring continuous V8 operation without permanent wiring changes. The unit is designed to be reversible, leaving the factory system intact for dealer diagnostics or warranty inspections when removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the RA007 improve everyday driving feel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy preventing cylinder deactivation, the module keeps all cylinders firing, producing more consistent throttle response, smoother acceleration, and the traditional V8 exhaust note.
