Full alert identifier: VCLEFT_a221_reverseBatteryFault

Alert description

The reverse battery protection transistor is not in its nominal state / functioning as expected. This occurs when an abnormally high amount of current is detected flowing from the low voltage (LV) battery vehicle controller to the LV battery.

Potential impact

The low voltage (LV) electrical system for the vehicle could become unsupported and shut down if power conversion system (PCS) support is also lost

Set condition

The low voltage (LV) battery vehicle controller has detected an issue with the reverse battery protection transistor.

Clear condition

The low voltage (LV) battery vehicle controller no longer detects an issue with the reverse battery protection transistor.
