SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

When rapid deceleration occurs during engine runs or idle speed decreases due to heavy load conditions, ECM detects a decrease in idle speed and restarts the engine to secure reliability in handleability by transmitting a cranking request signal to IPDM E/R for activating the starter motor under the following conditions:

Selector lever: Other than P and N (CVT models)
Shifter lever: Other than neutral position (M/T models)
Idle switch: ON (Accelerator pedal not depressed)
Brake switch: ON (Brake pedal depressed)

ECM transmits a control signal to IPDM E/R via BCM by CAN communication.

IPDM E/R detects an operating state of the starter motor relay and the starter motor control relay and transmits a feed back signal to ECM via CAN Communication.

Driving on snow or ice
WARNING Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain), very cold snow or ice can be slick and very hard to drive on. The vehicle will have much less traction or “grip” under these conditions. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted or sanded. Wha ...
