That has its own method for resetting, although users often report failure to reset properly. The T2 chip brought changes, as that SoC took over the functions performed previously by the SMC. When those go awry, the solution is normally to reset the SMC and hope that will solve its problems. To do this, it has its own firmware and settings which can be controlled using specific tools such as pmset for functions related to power management. In Intel Macs without a T2 chip, the SMC is a custom chipset which controls many of the extended hardware features, including cooling fans, keyboard backlighting, the Power button, opening and closing the lid of a notebook, sleeping and shutdown, battery charging (laptops), and recognition of peripherals connected to a USB-C port. This article explains what this means in detail.
