Abstract
According to one or more aspects, a dual controller area network (CAN) is used to start a vehicle. A dual CAN bus network includes a first CAN (CAN) bus and a second CAN (CAN) bus. A transmission control unit (TCU) is in communication with an engine control unit (ECU) via the dual CAN bus network. The ECU controls actuation of a starter motor based on signals from the CANbus and signals from the CANbus sent by the TCU. Actuation of the starter motor places an engine of the vehicle in a starting mode.
