    摘要: A park electronic securement (e-securement) system for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) includes an electric vehicle control unit (EVCU) connected to a park pawl system of the BEV and configured to, when there is at least one of a plurality of malfunctions of an electrical system including a high voltage battery, a DC-DC converter, and a low voltage battery, receive power from a redundant power source voltage provided by the high voltage battery via the DC-DC converter and command either the park pawl system or an electric park brake to transition the BEV to a park state and, when there are none of the plurality of malfunctions of the electrical system, receive power from the low voltage battery for control of the park pawl system to transition the BEV to the park state when requested.

    摘要: Non-inverted park lock systems and methods include an engine controller configured to control an engine of a vehicle in communication with a separate transmission controller via a controller area network (CAN), wherein the transmission controller is configured to control a transmission of the vehicle; and a conductor connecting the engine controller to a park lock solenoid disposed in the transmission and configured to move a park pawl to engage/disengage park. The engine controller keeps the park pawl disengaged from park during a power loss malfunction at the transmission controller and the transmission controller keeps the park pawl disengaged from park during a power loss malfunction at the engine controller by maintaining hydraulic pressure in the transmission at a threshold level until park is requested via the shifter.
