VCBATT1_a404 — Resistance Estimation Hard Failure

Full alert identifier: VCBATT1_a404_resistanceEstimationHardFailure

Alert description

The low voltage (LV) battery internal resistance is too high, based on measured voltage being below the acceptable threshold during a resistance estimation test. Indicates LV battery replacement is necessary.

Potential impact

The LV battery may be unable to support precharge loads / precharge the high voltage (HV) bus, and requires replacement.

Set condition

The LV battery voltage dropped below the lower limit during a resistance estimation test.

Clear condition

The vehicle controller loses all electrical power from the LV battery and power conversion system (PCS), as would happen during LV battery replacement.
