To ens ure t he vehi cl e’s braki ng s ys t em i s never compromi sed, a brake vacuum s ens or is int roduced on Stop/St art vehiclest o monit or vacuum reserves in t he brake s ervo. The vacuum sens or is mount ed in the vacuum pipe and hardwi red to t heECM. In the event of brake vacuum decreas ing below a s et threshold during a Stop/St art cycl e t he ECM wi ll s end a s ignalt o eit her:
Rest art t he engine and consequentl y replenis h vacuum reserves .Inhi bi t t he engi ne s hut ti ng down if vacuum res erves are not s uffi ci ent.
An example of vacuum res erves deplet ing, is by t he dri ver repeat edly pres s ing t he brake pedal when the engine iss hut down duri ng a St art/Stop cycle. This acti on wil l init iat e an engine res tart when vacuum reserves decreas e below thes et thres hold.
If a fault develops wi th the brake vacuum s ensor a DTC wil l be logged in the CJB.
Auxiliary Coolant Pump
Duri ng a St op/Start cycle when the engine i s s hutdown and consequent ly the engine-driven coolant pump is st ati onary, thedesi red s et cabi n t emperature cannot be mai ntai ned for a prol onged period, especially in col d ambient t emperatures . Tocount eract this , an auxil iary el ect ri c cool ant -pump has been integrat ed i nt o t he cool ing s ys tem to maint ain t he cool antfl ow t hrough t he cabi n’s heat er core. Thi s s upporti ng ci rculat ion t herefore prol ongs t he s et temperat ure set ti ng in the cabinand accordi ngl y prevents an early engine res tart.
