VCBATT1_a164 — eFuse Lckout Missing

Full alert identifier: VCBATT1_a164_eFuseLckoutMissing

Alert description

The battery vehicle controller (VCBATT) detects the voltage on the lockout circuit is not high enough when the front vehicle controller (VCFRONT) reports the lockout circuit active, indicating the eFuse lockout is not successfully asserted.

Potential impact

No functionality should be directly affected when eFuse lockout is missing. However, one or more eFuses may toggle between enabled / not enabled states if the VCBATT is reset and its non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) does not function as expected. Note: VCBATT should not attempt to toggle eFuses via the enable line when lockout is asserted, even after a reset.

Set condition

VCBATT detects the voltage on the lockout circuit is not measured at 5V over 2 seconds when VCFRONT reports that the lockout circuit is active.

Clear condition

VCBATT detects that eFuse lockout is no longer asserted or voltage detected on the lockout circuit is greater than 2.5V when measured over 2 seconds.
