VEHICLE NON-VOLATILE MEMORY INITIZATION CONTROL STRATEGY

A non-volatile memory (NVM) initialization control method for an electrified vehicle includes providing an NVM configured to store data relating to operation of the electrified vehicle including information relating to a high voltage battery system of the electrified vehicle, detecting a wake-up event of the electrified vehicle and, in response, executing a base software (BSW) that reads the data from the NVM and writes the data to a random-access memory (RAM) mirror, reading the data from the RAM mirror only once and maintain a separate copy of the read data from the NVM for usage by periodic processes during operation of the electrified vehicle, determining whether the wake-up event is a valid wake-up event and, when invalid, executing application software (ASW) configured to write the read data to the RAM mirror instead of default values.
