Ford Escape: Starting System - 1.5L EcoBoost (132kW/180PS) – I3 (Y1) / Description and Operation - Starting System - Overview
Starting System
The starting system controls the cranking of the engine. When the
PCM
receives inputs from the ignition switch, transmission (with automatic
transmission) or clutch pedal position switch (with manual
transmission), run/start relay and the BCM it then energizes the BJB
starter relay. When the starter relay is energized it applies power to
the starter motor which cranks the engine.
Auto-Start-Stop
The
Auto-Start-Stop system helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically
shutting off the vehicle’s engine while the vehicle is at a complete
stop and restarting the engine when the clutch pedal is pressed (with
manual transmission) or when the brake pedal is released (with automatic
transmissions). The Auto-Start-Stop system is automatically enabled
whenever the ignition is turned on. The vehicle may restart
automatically in order to maintain interior comfort or to recharge the
battery.
