VCFRONT1_a496 — Exit Drive Warning Domain Down

Full alert identifier: VCFRONT1_a496_exitDriveWarningDomainDown

Message shown in the car

Vehicle is preparing to shut down PULL OVER SAFELY

Alert description

The Low Voltage (LV) battery domain is in a critical state, and the vehicle controller is triggering a graceful exit from drive or graceful power-off (GPO). One or more alerts will be present when the vehicle starts the GPO.

Potential impact

The vehicle will exit drive within the next few minutes. A separate alert will be present to indicate that condition, and the next drive cycle will be blocked.

Set condition

May set due to a condition or combination of conditions indicating the LV battery cannot support the vehicle, including: the LV battery internal protection transistor (MOSFET) is open, the reverse battery eFuse has tripped (is open), or the vehicle controller is actively shedding vehicle electrical loads to conserve energy for essential functions. Alert log signal data should provide more information.

Clear condition

No condition or combination of conditions is detected indicating the LV battery cannot support the vehicle, or the vehicle has already entered graceful power-off (GPO) and is actively exiting drive.
