ON - Push Button Start

To enter ON mode, with a valid IA key inside the vehicle, press the start/stop switch for a minimum of one second without pressing the brake pedal. Once the BCM and RFA module indicate a valid IA key is present inside the vehicle and the BCM has detected the start/stop switch input without the BPP input (automatic transmission) or CPP input (manual transmission), the BCM activates the ignition and accessory relays. The BCM also sends the ignition mode message to the other modules over the MS-CAN.

Once the ignition has entered ON mode, the indicator in the start/stop switch illuminates and the module controlled indicators in the IPC momentarily illuminate to prove they are functioning correctly. For IPC prove-out information, REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview
