Starting System - 2.0L: Other Ford Kuga II

Module Network Input Messages Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

This vehicle is equipped with a PATS that 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 the corresponding message in the message center.

Refer to: PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

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

1. Voltage signal on the crank detect circuit from the ignition switch
2. PATS enable message from the BCM
3. Correct transmission 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.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

The PCM provides power and ground to the starter relay to initiate cranking of the engine.

The starting system controls the cranking of the engine. The starter motor is enabled by the starter relay when the relay is activated by the PCM . The PCM receives inputs from the ignition switch - push button start, BCM and transmission before activating the starter relay to initiate cranking of the engine.

Starting System - with Remote Start

The remote start system allows the vehicle to be started from up to 100 meters (328 feet) away. Activate the remote start by pressing the lock button on the passive key once to make sure the doors are locked, followed by 2 presses of the remote start button. The 3 button presses must occur within 3 seconds of each other. Once started, the engine runs for 10 minutes. The run time can be extended by the operator.

Module Network Input Messages Body Control Module (BCM)

This vehicle is equipped with a PATS that 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 the corresponding message in the message center.

Refer to: PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

The RFA module in conjunction with the BCM controls the ignition modes and in conjunction with the PCM controls the starting system.

During a start event, when the start/stop switch is pressed in combination with the brake pedal, the RFA module, PCM and BCM receive a request to start the engine. The PCM recognizes the correct inputs from the BCM and TR sensor and provides voltage and ground to energize the starter relay coil and close the starter relay contacts. The starter relay contacts close, providing voltage to the starter solenoid, allowing the starter motor to crank the engine. The PCM disengages the starter motor once an engine RPM threshold is reached, a set crank time is exceeded or the start/stop button is pressed indicating an engine shutdown.

Remote Start

The remote start feature allows the operator to remotely start the engine from up to 100 meters (328 feet) away and is activated using the IA Key. Once started, the engine runs for 10 minutes. When enabled, the customer can set the engine run time for 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Refer to the Owners Guide for more information.

The factory equipped remote start system does not operate if the following preconditions are not met

Preconditions

1. Remote start feature configured On. Refer to Owners Literature.
2. MIL not illuminated.
3. Transmission in Park.
4. No PATS concerns.
5. All doors closed.
6. Hood fully closed.
7. Ignition OFF for more than 15 seconds.

A remote start event is initiated by pressing the lock button on the Passive key once to make sure the doors are locked, followed by 2 presses of the remote start button. The 3 button presses must occur within 3 seconds of each other. The system acknowledges the start request by flashing the exterior lights twice. Once started, the engine runs for 10 minutes (default run time is 10 minutes; the time can be programmed by the customer to 5, 10 or 15 minutes) and the parking lights remain illuminated until the cycle is complete. The remote start duration can also be extended by initiating remote start while the first timer is still running or by initiating a completely independent start cycle when the first cycle has completed. No more than 2 remote start sequences can occur within a one hour period, unless the ignition is set to the RUN/START position between the remote start requests. During the remote start cycle the power windows are inhibited and the radio will not turn on automatically but may be turned on manually from inside the vehicle. If the remote start system fails to start the horn will chirp twice.

To transition from remote start mode to drive mode, use a programmed passive key to transition to RUN. If a programmed passive key is not used, the engine shuts off.

To deactivate the remote start system, press the remote start button once. When deactivating the remote start system the parking lights turn off to give a visual indication that the engine and climate control features have turned off. It may be necessary to be closer to the vehicle to deactivate the remote start feature than it was to initiate it due to ground deflections and added noise from the engine running.

The remote start system conditions the cabin temperature during remote start based on the outside temperature. For information on cabin temperature conditioning during remote start

Refer to: CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - VEHICLES WITH: DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (DATC) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION or Refer to: CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - VEHICLES WITH: ELECTRONIC MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EMTC) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

For more information on enabling the Remote start system refer to the Owners Literature.

The BCM is the gateway module, translating HS-CAN messages to the MS-CAN . This allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks.

Refer to: MODULE CONTROLLED FUNCTIONS - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

Ignition Switch - 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 .

Passive Key

Refer to: PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

Refer to: PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) - SYSTEM OPERATION AND COMPONENT DESCRIPTION .

The PCM provides power and ground to the starter relay to initiate cranking of the engine.

Remote Functions Receiver (RFR)

The Remote Functions Receiver (RFR) is a receiving antenna that receives high frequency signals. When a remote start request is initiated from the passive key the Remote Functions Receiver (RFR) receives the signal and communicates the remote start request message to the RFA module. The RFA module transmits the message via the MS-CAN to the BCM to initiate a remote start event.
