Q
How does Ignition Shutdown work?
A

Answer

When the IGN ACC signal is removed:

  2. Delay-Off countdown starts.
  3. Countdown time is configurable through MCU Utility.
  4. System performs a graceful shutdown.
  5. Power is removed after shutdown completes.

This mechanism helps prevent file system corruption and data loss.
