Electrical Load Management

The Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) contains the electrical load management. The electrical load management uses the Intelligent Power Management System (IPMS) functionality and is based on Battery Monitoring System (BMS) control module inputs. The BCM/GWM monitors the vehicle system power loads in all Power Modes.

Engine Stop/Start Operation with the Starter Motor

NOTE: For Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) of greater than -5°C (23°F) the Belt Integrated Starter Generator (BISG) is used in stop/start mode to start the engine.

For additional information, Refer to: BELT INTERGRATED STARTER GENERATOR

When the engine is stopped, the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) continues to monitor the startup battery state of charge. If the startup battery voltage is less than 11.2V, the BCM/GWM initiates an engine start. A startup battery voltage of less than 11.2V, results in degraded starting performance or possible startup battery damage.
