Abstract:
1. A system for use with vehicle having a vehicle ignition circuit and a plurality of vehicle function devices comprising: a sequencing mechanism operable to receive logic inputs from each of a plurality of vehicle function devices when the vehicle function device is energized, the sequencing mechanism being operable to generate a plurality of function outputs, each of the function outputs being in a predetermined “go” logic condition only if each of the plurality of vehicle function devices are energized according to a predetermined sequence; a timing mechanism operable to selectively provide a timing output in a predetermined “go” logic condition for a predetermined time period; and, a gate mechanism operable to generate an ignition output responsive to each of the generated function outputs and the timing output, wherein the ignition output is in a predetermined logic “go” condition only if each of the plurality of function outputs and the timing output are in the predetermined logic “go” condition, wherein the ignition output is operable to selectively complete the vehicle ignition circuit when the ignition output is in the logic “go” condition.
