Volt
. This includes the ECU and fuel pumps, which will result in
engine failure.
WARNING
The engine can run from the main battery for approximately 30
minutes, following a dual alternator A and B failure; from a full charge
with all ancillary equipment turned off. The engine will fail due to fuel
starvation, as the fuel pumps will stop when the voltage is too low.
