Abstract
A network control method for improving energy consumption by an electrified vehicle during ignition-off involves a supervisory controller configured to control a propulsion system or electrified powertrain of the electrified vehicle and a security gateway (SGW) module. The supervisory controller and the SGW module are each connected to a controller area network (CAN) of the electrified vehicle and the CAN includes a plurality of buses. When one of a plurality of conditions exist to keep one or more of the plurality of buses of the CAN awake during an ignition-off period, the supervisory controller sends a signal to the SGW module that causes it to only communicate on a specific set of buses of the plurality of buses of the CAN to thereby reduce energy consumption of components on the CAN that would have otherwise been awoken by the SGW module.
