Starting System

The starting system controls the cranking of the engine. Under normal operation, when the ignition is turned to START, the PCM receives the following inputs:

• Request to crank engine message from the BCM
• PATS enable message from the BCM
• Park or neutral input from the automatic transmission

When the PCM receives the correct inputs, voltage and ground is supplied to the starter relay coil. When the starter relay coil is energized, it provides voltage to the starter solenoid, allowing the starter motor to crank the engine.

The PCM disengages the starter once an engine Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) threshold is reached, a set crank time is exceeded or the ignition is turned off.

Passive Anti-theft System (PATS)

This vehicle may be equipped with PATS . PATS disables the engine from starting if an unprogrammed PATS key is used or an invalid PCM ID is received. The PATS is controlled by the BCM . If there is a PATS concern that disables the engine, the IPC displays a corresponding message in the message center.

Refer to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - System Operation and Component Description (419-01C Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Vehicles With: Phone as a Key, Description and Operation).

Remote Start

The remote start system is controlled by the RKE system. For more information,
Refer to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Description and Operation).

Auto-Start-Stop System

The Auto-start-stop system helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the vehicle’s engine while the vehicle is at a complete stop and restarting the engine when the brake pedal is released. The system can be disabled through the auto-start-stop control switch on the instrument panel centerstack. The Auto-start-stop system is automatically enabled whenever the ignition is turned on.

The engine automatically restarts when:

• the brake pedal is released.
• the Auto-start-stop system is disabled through the auto-start-stop control switch on the instrument panel centerstack.
• the battery has a low state of charge.
• it is necessary to maintain interior comfort.
• the blower fan speed is increased or the climate control temperature is changed.
• an electrical accessory is turned on or plugged in.
• there is low brake vacuum.

The Auto-start-stop system may not turn the engine off under these conditions:

• the HVAC system is in A/C, heat or defrost modes.
• the defroster is on.
• the battery has a low state of charge.
• the battery temperature is below 5°C (41°F) or above 60°C (140°F).
• the engine temperature is below 46°C (115°F).
• the engine temperature is below 60°C (140°F) and the HVAC system is in heat mode.
• the gear selector is not in Drive or Sport Mode.
• the steering wheel is turned rapidly or is at a sharp angle.
• vehicle speed of greater than 4 km/h (2.5 mph) for more than 2 seconds has not occurred.
• the vehicle is on a steep road grade.
• elevation is approximately above 3,048 meters (10,000 feet).

Component Description

Body Control Module (BCM)

Refer to: Module Controlled Functions - System Operation and Component Description (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Description and Operation).

Gateway Module

The GWM translates messages between the HS-CAN and MS-CAN . This allows messages to be communicated between networks.
Refer to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network - System Operation and Component Description (418-00A Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network, Description and Operation).

Ignition Switch (without Push Button Start)

Refer to: Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components - System Operation and Component Description (211-05 Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components, Description and Operation).

Ignition Switch - Push Button start (with Push Button Start)

The ignition switch - push button start (engine start/stop button) is a momentary contact switch that is hardwired to the BCM and the PCM . The ignition switch - push button start is used to obtain the OFF, ON or START ignition modes. For more information,
Refer to: Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components - System Operation and Component Description (211-05 Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components, Description and Operation).
