System STATES IN VIRGIN MODE

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, ESCL and Engine status:

System State Terminal Status ESCL Status Engine Status
1. OFF - UNLOCKED OFF Unlocked Stopped
2. ACC ACC Unlocked Stopped
3. IGN IGN1, IGN2, ACC Unlocked Stopped
4. Start IGN1, START with special pattern of activation Unlocked Cranking
5. IGN - Engine IGN1, IGN2, ACC Unlocked 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.
