Abstract
An engine start security control system for a vehicle having a transmission that is driven by an engine includes a first module that generates a first engine start flag based on an internal mode switch (IMS) signal and a second module that generates a second engine start flag based on a modified IMS signal. A third module selectively generates an engine start allow signal based on the first and second engine start flags.
