VCBATT_a521 — Vcleft eFuse Load Shed

Full alert identifier: VCBATT_a521_vcleftEFuseLoadShed

Alert description

The electrical current flowing through the left vehicle controller (VCLEFT) eFuse is greater or equal to 100A. The VCLEFT eFuse circuit may open (trip) if the low voltage (LV) electrical system loads are not reduced. The vehicle controller requests the VCLEFT to shed vehicle electrical loads by cutting power to the less essential loads.

Potential impact

Some convenience features controlled by the VCLEFT will be unavailable as the vehicle controller limits the LV electrical system current draw by cutting power to some loads.

Set condition

The VCLEFT eFuse current value equals or exceeds 100A for 100 milliseconds.

Clear condition

The VCLEFT eFuse current value remains below 100A for 100 milliseconds.
