A method and system for controlling power to a cranking subsystem in a device having a power source is disclosed. The method and system comprise providing at least one switch and providing at least one controller. The switch is coupled with the power source and a portion of the device. The at least one controller is coupled with the switch. The at least one controller is for controlling the switch based detection of at least one failure in the portion of the device and to account for the at least one failure in a portion of the device. In one aspect, the method and system comprise monitoring a portion of the device and determining whether at least one failure exists in the portion of the device. In this aspect, the method and system also comprise utilizing the at least one controller to operate at least one switch in order to account for the at least one failure.
