Control module activation of vehicles in a key-off state to determine driving routes

A method for activating vehicle control modules, the method comprising:

• detecting, via a battery sensor, a charge level of a battery of a vehicle;
• determining, via a processor, a current charge level of the battery based upon the charge level detected prior to the vehicle being in a key-off state and a time duration of the vehicle being in the key-off state;
• determining, via a GPS receiver, a location of the vehicle in the key-off state;
• identifying, via the processor, an event and an end time corresponding to the location;
• activating a telematic control unit based upon an activation signal that corresponds to the end time;
• and
• determining and presenting, via the telematic control unit, a route from the location.

A tangible computer readable medium including instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to:

• detect, via a battery sensor, a charge level of a battery of a vehicle;
• determine a current charge level of the battery based upon the charge level detected prior to the vehicle being in a key-off state and a time duration of the vehicle being in the key-off state;
• determine, via a GPS receiver, a location of the vehicle in the key-off state;
• identify, via a processor, an event and an end time corresponding to the location;
• activate a telematic control unit upon receipt of an activation signal that corresponds to the end time;
• and
• determine and present, via the telematic control unit, a route from the location.
