Abstract
A processor, responsive to detecting a controller is drawing power from a battery to perform a task when a vehicle is parked and detecting a parameter indicative of a likelihood that the controller will complete the task within a predefined time period has a value less than a threshold value, generates a message for a user requesting whether the controller should be shut down without completing the task.
Claims16
A vehicle comprising:
- a battery;
- a plurality of controllers;
- and
- a processor programmed to, responsive to detecting at least one of the controllers is drawing power from the battery to perform a task when the vehicle is parked and detecting a parameter has a value less than a threshold value, command the at least one controller to shut down without completing the task, wherein the threshold value depends on a state of charge of the battery and the task being performed such that different tasks have different threshold values.

A vehicle system comprising:
- a processor programmed to,
- responsive to detecting a controller is drawing power from a battery to perform a task when the vehicle is parked and detecting a parameter indicative of a likelihood that the controller will complete the task within a predefined time period has a value less than a threshold value, generate a message for a user requesting whether the controller should be shut down without completing the task, and
- responsive to detecting the controller is drawing power from the battery to perform the task when the vehicle is parked and detecting the parameter has a value greater than the threshold value, preclude shutting down the controller without completing the task.
A method comprising:
- responsive to detecting a controller of a vehicle is drawing power from a battery to perform a task when the vehicle is parked and detecting a parameter has a value less than a threshold value that depends on the task being performed, commanding the controller to shut down without completing the task;
- and
- altering the value based on ambient temperature.
