| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | BISG drive belt tensioner (quantity 2) |
| 2 | BISG |
| 3 | Wiring harness connector |
| 4 | Battery positive terminal |
| 5 | BISG pulley |
The BISG is located on the left of the engine towards the front. The BISG is connected to the crankshaft pulley by the BISG drive belt.
The BISG is controlled by the PCM through the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) power mode zero systems bus.
On PHEV the BISG can start the engine by turning the crankshaft through the BISG drive belt. The BISG has been introduced to provide a virtually silent engine crank. There is a Direct Current to Direct Current (DC/DC) to provide 12V power from the high voltage battery to the vehicle systems. Therefore in this application the generator function of the 12V BISG is not used.
