System STATES IN VIRGIN MODE
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Kia Sportage and 2012 Kia Sportage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BES System can be set in 5 different states (OFF LOCKED is not available in virgin mode), depending on the status of the terminals and Engine status:
ENGINE STATUS REFERENCE CHART
| System State | Terminal Status | Engine status |
|---|---|---|
| 1. OFF - UNLOCKED | OFF | Stopped |
| 2. ACC | ACC | Stopped |
| 3. IGN | IGN1, IGN2, ACC | Stopped |
| 4. Start | IGN1, START with special pattern of activation | Cranking |
| 5. IGN - Engine | IGN1, IGN2, ACC | Running (means "self-running") |
Referring to the terminals, the system states described in the table above are same as those one found in a system based on a mechanical ignition switch.
The one of distinction with Mechanical-Ignition-Switch based system is that the BES system allows specific transition from (OFF) to (START) without going through (ACC) and (IGN) states.
