Negative Split Mode

In this mode the internal combustion engine is running but the generator motor is reducing the engine speed. This mode is never preferred but occurs when all of the following vehicle conditions are met:

• The engine is running.
• The vehicle speed is high.
• The high voltage traction battery is charged.
• Reducing engine throttle is not desired.
