OPERATION

START/STOP BUTTON

Each time the START/STOP button is pressed, a signal is transmitted from the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) over the Controlled Area Network (CAN) data bus to the Passive Entry Module (PEM), where the signal is then wirelessly transmitted to the FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK). The signal is then sent back through the PEM over the CAN data bus and back to the WIN for authentication and location. After a valid FOBIK is detected inside the vehicle the ignition state can be changed.

The ignition system for the Keyless Go (KG)feature has three states, similar to a conventional ignition system. These ignition states are OFF, ACCESSORY, and ON. Each time the START/STOP button is pressed and released the ignition state changes to the next ignition state as follows, from OFF to ACCESSORY, from ACCESSORY to ON, and from ON back to OFF.

To start the engine, the transmission must be in park or neutral. From any ignition state, press the brake pedal and press and release the START/STOP button and the engine attempts to start. The starter will continues to crank until the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengages automatically in 10 seconds. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine before the engine starts, press and release the START/STOP button again.

To shut off the engine while the transmission is in PARK press and release the START/STOP button and the engine shuts off. To shut off the engine while the transmission is out of PARK you must press and hold the START STOP button. The ignition state will be changes to the ACCESSORY state if the transmission is not in PARK and to the OFF state if the transmission is in PARK motion.
