Alert Details

VCFRONT_a544_LVBatteryCommsBusTurnedOff

Description

The vehicle controller has disabled communications over the bus that connects to the low voltage (LV) battery after detecting a condition (or conditions) that may cause the LV battery to become overdischarged. To avoid overdischarge that could make the LV battery unrecoverable, do not restore communications until the LV system is fully supported by the Power Conversion System (PCS).

Condition

The vehicle controller detects the LV battery may become overdischarged unless it sleeps, and also determines vehicle conditions are OK to disable LV battery communications.

Clear Condition

Clears upon any of the following: (1) The RECONNECT-LV-BATTERY routine is run from the vehicle touchscreen in Service Mode or via Toolbox; (2) A vehicle power cycle is completed; (3) Vehicle firmware install is initiated; (4) The vehicle is no longer in Service Mode.

Potential Impact

The vehicle controller will have less information about the LV battery until it is serviced. Headlamps and windshield wipers may be unavailable, or may not function as expected.
