  2. SYSTEM CONTROL


    1. Operating Conditions at Engine Stop and Restart


      1. The engine may stop if all of these conditions are detected.

        Item Operating Condition

        Battery Integrated Current*1
        1. When first starting the engine, battery integrated current value is -5299 A-sec or more.

        2. After the integrated current value has increased to -5299 A-sec or more at least once after the ignition switch is turned to ON:


          • -5299 A-sec or more: Battery temperature is inside the threshold range.*2

          • 0 A-sec or more: Battery temperature is outside the threshold range.*2

        Engine Speed 1250 r/min or less
        Driver's Seat Belt 3 seconds or more elapse after the seat belt is fastened.
        Accelerator Pedal Not depressed

        *1: Regarding Battery Integrated Current

        In the stop and start system, the engine stop and start ECU switches the system control mode (stop and start system control permitted/prohibited) based on the battery condition (charge/discharge condition) to protect the battery and to ensure stable engine restarting performance.

        The battery charge-discharge condition is determined from the integrated current value calculated from the battery current sensor signal. The integrated current value is obtained by multiplying the current (ampere) detected by the battery current sensor by the time (seconds), and it is expressed in the unit A-sec. This can be measured by the Global TechStream (GTS).

        The engine stop and start ECU determines the power charge based on the integrated current value and prohibits stop and start system control if the value is below the threshold, because the battery might not be able to start the engine. The threshold varies according to the battery temperature and battery charge condition.

        *2: After the integrated current value becomes -6451 A-sec or less or -1152 A-sec or less, respectively, in order to charge the battery, control is prohibited until the value becomes -5299 A-sec or more or 0 A-sec or more, respectively.

    2. System Prohibit Control


      1. For safety, battery protection, comfort and ECU learning reasons, the engine stop and start ECU prohibits stop and start system operation if any one of the following conditions is met.

        Prohibition Reason Condition
        Safety If the engine is started with the hood open, such as when jump starting, engine restart operation cannot be ensured. Therefore, stop and start system operation will be prohibited. Operation of the system will be restored on the next trip.
        If the driver door or hood is opened before the engine stops, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        The brake booster vacuum is insufficient.
        The driver seat belt is unfastened before the engine stops.
        The engine catalyst is being quickly warmed up.
        Battery Protection If the electrical load is high and the engine is stopped for a long period of time, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        A refresh charge is performed every time the vehicle is driven for a total of 20 hours. During the refresh charge, which takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        If the idle stop rate becomes higher than a predetermined value, stop and start system operation will be disabled.
        If the battery voltage becomes low and the battery integrated current value drops to below the threshold value, stop and start operation will be disabled.
        Comfort If the air conditioning is on when the outside temperature is high and the evaporator temperature is high, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.*1
        If the air conditioning is on when the outside temperature is low, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.*1
        If the heater is on when the outside temperature is low and the engine coolant temperature is low, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        If the front DEF switch and blower switch are on, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        If the heater switch assembly*2 is turned on, stop and start system operation will be prohibited.
        Engine Protection DPF regeneration is prior to stop and start operation during DPF regeneration.

        *2: Models with combustion type power heater

    3. Warning Control


      1. If any of the following operations are performed while the engine is stopped due to system control, the system will not restart the engine. The driver will be warned by a buzzer, or the engine will be regarded as stalled or will be restarted.

        Operation Warning Control
        Driver door is opened. The engine status changes to 'stalled' or is restarted.
        Hood is opened. The engine status changes to 'stalled' or is restarted.
        Shift lever is moved without depressing the clutch pedal. Buzzer sounds.
        The driver seat belt is released. The engine changes to restarted.
  3. FUNCTION


    1. Settings of Stop and Start System


      1. Using the steering pad switch assembly and the multi-information display on the combination meter assembly, the engine stop operation time due to stop and start control when the air conditioning system is on can be changed between Normal and Extended (the stop and start system has priority).

  4. DIAGNOSIS


    1. When the engine stop and start ECU detects a malfunction and CAN communication is normal, the engine stop and start ECU records information related to the malfunction. Furthermore, the stop and start indicator light in the combination meter assembly blinks to inform the driver that CAN communication is normal.

    2. The engine stop and start ECU also stores Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) related to malfunctions. DTCs can be read using the Global TechStream (GTS).
