Description
MBFM controls the Starter Relay under two situations:
If it gets a signal from the ignition switch or if it gets the signal from Engine ECU in the Start stop
functionality (if the Start Stop is enabled)
The MBFM inhibits that starter relay if the following conditions are present:
e. The MBFM Anti theft is in armed state
f. The engine speed is above a set speed, indicating that the engine is already running. This
is to avoid the starter operation when the engine is already running,
g. The Gear Neutral switch detects that the gear is not in neutral (gear engaged detected) &
the clutch pedal is not pressed up to 90%.
h. The starter is engaged for > 10 seconds
i. If the MBFM switches off the starter relay due to point d. Then a minimum time of 5 sec has
to pass before it will energize next attempt.
