VCBATT1_a608 — T LVBMS Bleed Fet Failure

Full alert identifier: VCBATT1_a608_TLVBMS_BleedFetFailure

Alert description

A bleed Field-Effect Transistor (FET) on the Battery Management Board (BMB) is not operating as designed. This will prevent the battery from balancing the brick by decreasing the brick voltage.

Potential impact

The bleed FET will prevent the battery from properly balancing the brick by bleeding the voltage down.

Set condition

Upon a periodic wake, after an ECU reset, or every 6 hours, the Low Voltage Battery Management System (LVBMS) will test all bleed switches by switching them on in turn. If the sensed brick voltage does not significantly change, this alert is set.

Clear condition

The bleed test reports sufficient voltage change across each brick.
