STOP AND START SYSTEM Backup Boost Converter Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The backup boost converter assembly supplements battery voltage to help prevent it from dropping when the engine is restarted during Stop and Start system control Click here. This is done to prevent some electrical systems, such as the audio system, from being disabled due to low power supply voltage.

If any DTCs are output, troubleshoot for those DTCs first Click here.

Tech Tips


  • The backup boost converter assembly has a control circuit and internal relay for each electrical system it supplies, such as the meter, audio, and air conditioning systems. If a malfunction occurs in a circuit supplied by the backup boost converter, the relay opens and power supply to the applicable circuit will be shut off (remains open until the next trip).

    Turning the ignition switch off resets the internal relays. However, they will open again when the ignition switch is turned to ON if the malfunction in the circuit has not been repaired.

    The backup boost converter supplies power to the ABS/VSC, EPS, meter, audio, and air conditioning systems. If power is not supplied to any of these electrical systems, perform troubleshooting by referring to the table below.

  • For more information on the effect of malfunction on Stop and Start system operation, refer to the System Description Click here.
