Enhanced power management
A computer includes a processor and memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive a message sent by a first electronic control unit of a deactivated vehicle via a vehicle network of the deactivated vehicle, the message including a power consumption level indicating a rate of power consumption currently used by the first electronic control unit, send a second message to a user device when the power consumption level of the first electronic control unit exceeds a threshold, the second message including a request to deactivate the first electronic control unit, and deactivate the first electronic control unit upon receiving, in response to the request, user input to deactivate the first electronic control unit.
1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
receive a message sent by a first electronic control unit of a deactivated vehicle via a vehicle network of the deactivated vehicle, the message including a power consumption level collected or determined by the first electronic control unit indicating a rate of power consumption currently being used by the first electronic control unit;
send a second message to a user device when the power consumption level of the first electronic control unit exceeds a threshold, the second message including a request to deactivate the first electronic control unit; and
deactivate the first electronic control unit upon receiving, in response to the request, user input to deactivate the first electronic control unit.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to identify a plurality of electronic control units including the first electronic control unit having respective power consumption levels exceeding the threshold and to include, in the second message, a request to deactivate each of the plurality of electronic control units.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to receive user input to deactivate two or more of the plurality of electronic control units including the first electronic control unit and to deactivate the two or more electronic control units requested by the user.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the power consumption level is a voltage across the electronic control unit.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to include an energy level of a vehicle battery in the second message.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is based on a predicted time for an energy level of a vehicle battery to fall below an energy threshold.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the energy threshold is a minimum amount of battery charge to activate the vehicle.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to store an energy level of a vehicle battery in the memory and to send a third message via the vehicle network to the electronic control unit including the energy level of the vehicle battery.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to send the energy level to an external server programmed to predict a time for the energy level to fall below a minimum amount of battery charge to activate the vehicle.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the electronic control unit is further programmed to transition to a low power mode based on the third message.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to instruct a communications control unit to send the second message to the user device.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to identify a vehicle component having a power consumption level exceeding the threshold and to include, in the second message, a request to deactivate the vehicle component.
13. A method, comprising:
receiving a message sent by a first electronic control unit of a deactivated vehicle via a vehicle network of the deactivated vehicle, the message including a power consumption level collected or determined by the first electronic control unit indicating an amount of power currently being used by the first electronic control unit;
sending a second message to a user device when the power consumption level of the first electronic control unit exceeds a threshold, the second message including a request to deactivate the first electronic control unit; and
deactivating the first electronic control unit upon receiving, in response to the request, user input to deactivate the first electronic control unit.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising identifying a plurality of electronic control units including the first electronic control unit having respective power consumption levels exceeding the threshold and including, in the second message, a request to deactivate each of the plurality of electronic control units.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the power consumption level is a voltage across the electronic control unit.
16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising including an energy level of a vehicle battery in the second message.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the threshold is based on a predicted time for an energy level of a vehicle battery to fall below an energy threshold.
18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising storing an energy level of a vehicle battery in a memory and sending a third message via the vehicle network to the electronic control unit including the energy level of the vehicle battery.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising sending the energy level to an external server programmed to predict a time for the energy level to fall below a minimum amount of battery charge to activate the vehicle.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the electronic control unit is further programmed to transition to a low power mode based on the third message.
