Battery module SOC

When the MCM determines that the remaining battery module state-of-charge (SOC) is within the idle stop enable area, it allows auto idle stop. When the battery module SOC goes below the idle stop enable area during idle stop, the MCM requests an engine restart from the ECM/PCM. To confirm the battery module SOC, use the HDS data list. An approximate SOC can also be determined by counting the segments in the battery module SOC indicator.
