Enabling the Auto-Start Module
MONITOR MODE:
For the Auto-Start Module to control engine start/stop, it
must first be in ‘Monitor Mode.’ Before entering Monitor
Mode, these pre-conditions must be met:
• Vehicle is in park
• Vehicle’s driving brakes are NOT engaged
• Parking brake engaged
• Hood closed
• Fuel level above 1/4 tank
• Ignition switch in the RUN position
With these pre-conditions met, Monitor Mode is entered by
pressing and holding the control button (located along the left
side of the dash) for a pre-programmed amount of time. The
control button LED turns ON as a visual indication. As long
as Monitor Mode is active, the LED remains ON. The key can
be removed from the ignition after entering Monitor Mode.
Upon entering Monitor Mode the instrument cluster will
turn ON, a 30-second timer will start, and the Auto-Start
Module will monitor the Li-ion battery’s state-of-charge. If
battery state-of-charge remains above the ‘trip-point,’ and
the 30-second timer expires, the system will turn OFF the
instrument cluster and continue to monitor the battery state-
of-charge. Once the battery state-of-charge drops below the
‘trip-point,’ the system will turn ON the instrument cluster
and auto-start the vehicle’s engine (on high-idle) as normal.
The vehicle’s engine will run until the Li-ion battery reaches
80% charge.
MONITOR LED
A continuously-lit LED indicates normal monitoring opera-
tion. If the LED is blinking, either an error has occurred or
an unwanted operational condition has been detected. Three
possible errors are:
• Engine failed to start after 3 tries
• Engine failed to stop after 3 tries
• Engine prematurely stopped
For each of these circumstances, auto-start/stop function is
disabled until Monitor Mode is reset (exiting, then re-enter-
ing). A forth case which temporarily disables auto-start/stop
is if the vehicle’s brakes are applied while in Monitor Mode. In
this instance, auto-start/stop is again disabled for a period of
time before automatically returning to normal Monitor Mode
operation.
EXITING MONITOR MODE
Exiting Monitor Mode is accomplished either by:
1. Releasing the parking brake, or;
2. Pressing the FOB ‘Unlock’ button 3 times.
For these two actions:
a. If the engine is running, the module will turn OFF
the engine, then exit Monitor Mode (indicated by the
LED turning OFF).
b. If the engine is not running, Monitor Mode is simply
exited (indicated by the LED turning OFF).
3. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to the CRANK
position.
a. If the engine is running, the module exits Monitor
Mode (indicated by the LED turning OFF).
b. If the engine is not running, the module exits Monitor
Mode without starting the engine (indicated by the
LED turning OFF).
NOTE: Once Monitor Mode is exited, the Auto-Start
Module is disabled. Monitor Mode must be re-entered
in order to enable the Auto-Start Module.
BATTERY FORCE CHARGING
While in Monitor Mode, an additional feature allows the user
to activate the engine on high-idle, enabling faster charging of
the batteries. If the module is in Monitor Mode:
1. Press the activate/deactivate button three times within 3
seconds; at which time the vehicle’s engine will start and
run on high idle speed.
2. The engine will continue to run on high idle until the
Li-ion battery system is fully charged and then auto-shut
off the vehicle’s engine as normal.
NOTE: Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for full
details regarding the safety and operational details of
the auto-start/stop charging system. Manufacturer’s
information is available through TMC’s on-line
