Abstract: A starter control system is disclosed. In one example, the starter control system may be activated via predetermined control logic or via an operator action that is not subject to the predetermined control logic.

Abstract: A starter control system is disclosed. In one example, the starter control system allows both automatic and manual control over an engine starting sequence. The starter control system can enhance starter control system flexibility.

Abstract: A starter control system includes a power source, a starter motor, a starter relay, a control module, and an ignition switch. The starter motor is in operative communication with the power source. The starter relay is operatively interposed between the power source and the starter motor, and includes a high side node and a low side node. The starter relay is controllable to selectively enable power delivery from the power source to the starter motor responsive to activation of the high side node and the low side node. The control module includes a high side driver in operative communication with the high side node of the starter relay and a low side driver in operative communication with the low side node of the starter relay. The ignition switch is in operative communication with the high side node of the starter relay and in operative communication with the control module.
