System STATES IN VIRGIN MODE

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Niro. 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:

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 the same as those found in a system based on a mechanical ignition switch.

One of the features distinctive from the Mechanical Ignition Switch-based system is that the BES system allows specific transition from [OFF] to [START] without going through [ACC] and [IGN] states.
