METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LIMITING IN-RUSH CURRENT TO A STARTER MOTOR OF A VEHICLE

A system and method for limiting engine starting current of a starter motor of an engine is described. In one example, starter motor current is controlled according to vehicle speed. The method may allow vehicle system voltage to remain at a higher level during automatically initiated engine starts.
