Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Test for greater than 12 V between the positive terminal and negative terminal on the C1 Battery and C1B Battery - Auxiliary.
    • If greater than 12 V 
  3. Verify no DTCs are set.
    • If no DTCs are set 
  4. Verify Battery Sensor Module Battery State Information parameter reads Available (Learned) and Battery Sensor Module Reset Occurred - Using Estimated State of Charge reads No (Measured).
    • If parameters read Not Available (Not Learned) and No (Measured).
    1. Verify minimum crank voltage is above 8.7 V
    2. Verify vehicle has not been jump started or blind charged.
    • If parameters read Available (Learned) and No (Measured) or reads Not Available (Not Learned) and Yes (Estimated)
  5. NOTE:

    If parameters read Not Available (Not Learned) and Yes (Estimated) the vehicle needs to sit for 3 hours undisturbed but is not required  to have the start/stop enabled. After a 3 hour Battery Sensor Module Learn the parameters Battery Sensor Module Battery State Information and Battery Sensor Module Reset Occurred - Using Estimated State of Charge change to Available (Learned) and No (Measured) after the engine is cranked.

    NOTE:

    A vehicle hoist can be used to verify the autostop and autostart operation.

  6. Verify the autostop and autostart functions are functioning properly while operating the vehicle under the conditions for entering a start/stop event. Refer to Stop/Start System Description and Operation .
    • If the vehicle does not autostop or autostart 
    1. Observe the scan tool Autostop Disable Reason, Autostop Inhibit Reason, Autostart Inhibit, and Autostart Reason parameters while operating the vehicle under the conditions for entering a start/stop event. Refer to Stop/Start Disable, Inhibit, and Restart Reasons . These parameters will identify the specific cause for the autostop or autostart disable.
    • If the vehicle autostops and autostarts 
  7. Verify the infotainment system remains active during a start/stop event.
    • If the infotainment system turns off or restarts during a start/stop event. 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Dual Battery Control Module Circuit Malfunction

    • If the infotainment system remains active during a start/stop event 
  8. Verify the C1 Battery and C1B Battery - Auxiliary switch in and out at the appropriate events.
    • If the C1 Battery and C1B Battery - Auxiliary do not switch in and out at the appropriate events 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Dual Battery Control Module Circuit Malfunction

    • If the C1 Battery and C1B Battery - Auxiliary switch in and out at the appropriate events 
  9. All OK.
