A system () for long-range, remote keyless control of predefined functions for a vehicle () is provided that has a long-range wireless receiver () that receives transmission signals () from a wireless transmission source (), such as a cellular phone network or satellite network. A wireless signal transmitter () is mounted on the vehicle () and uses the same protocol () as a hand-held wireless transmitter () to perform various vehicle functions, such as locking/unlocking doors (), opening/closing windows and/or the trunk (). The advantage being the low cost addition of the long-range control using the vehicle's existing short-range RF receiver and electrical infrastructure.

A vehicle includes an engine, an electrical load and a stop/start system. The stop/start system selectively auto stops the engine when a speed of the vehicle is approximately zero, and in response to a request to activate the electrical load while the engine is auto stopped, auto starts the engine prior to activating the electrical load.

The software and hardware resources of an electronic system are organized in an architecture which creates a single data table in program memory for the assignment of user controls to system functions. User controls can be reassigned through appropriate modifications to this table. Thus, minor changes to the user controls can be implemented without modifying the software or hardware of the system, thereby avoiding significant development cost. Furthermore, standard products can be developed which can be customized to the needs of particular applications of the products or variations for local markets.

A plurality of fault conditions are detected on a communication network onboard a vehicle. The detected fault conditions, a fault condition importance, environment conditions, and a vehicle operation mode are input to a neural network that outputs rankings for respective detected fault conditions. The neural network is trained by determining a loss function based on a maximum likelihood principle that determines a probability distribution that ranks the detected fault conditions. The vehicle is operated based on the rankings of the fault conditions.

A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to collect steering, speed, and position data about a plurality of vehicles from one or more infrastructure sensors, identify a vehicle that varies from a specified position in a roadway lane relative to a roadway lane marker or exceeds a threshold speed based on the collected data, instruct the identified vehicle to move to a side of a roadway, and send a message to a central server including an identification of the vehicle.

A vehicle may include a battery and a controller programmed to set a bus voltage threshold such that during a next charging event a voltage of the battery achieves a desulfation value. The controller may set the bus voltage threshold in response to charge acceptance of the battery falling below a predetermined sulfation value. The controller may be programmed to lower the threshold such that the voltage of the battery falls below the desulfation value. The controller may lower the threshold in response to the charge acceptance exceeding the predetermined sulfation value during the event.
