A method of controlling a starter motor of a powertrain system

A method for dealing with a change of mind event during an automatic shut-down of an engine 6 in which the speed at which a starter motor 11 used to restart the engine 6 is disengaged is based upon the comparison of current engine speed (N) with a cranking speed limit (SLIM); The method deals with t...

Zusammenfassung:A method for dealing with a change of mind event during an automatic shut-down of an engine 6 in which the speed at which a starter motor 11 used to restart the engine 6 is disengaged is based upon the comparison of current engine speed (N) with a cranking speed limit (SLIM); The method deals with the problem of unreliable starting due to variations in driveline state by calibrating the cranking speed limit (SLIM) for a fully open driveline state, and may also calibrate the cranking speed limit (SLIM) for a not fully open driveline state. This helps prevent the occurrence of detrimental noise, vibration, and harshness due to a single speed of the starter motor 11 coupled with a partially closed driveline that may be present during a change of mind event.
