The battery management system (BMS) detects an issue with the high voltage (HV) internal current sensor.

What you'll see in your Tesla

  • Vehicle may not restart

What triggers it

The measured current is sufficiently far from zero with contactors open, the current sensor is reporting the same current for too many samples in a row, or the current sensor is behaving irrationally (for example, it is dropping packets).
