Signal Name Description Condition Impact
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.
Upon a periodic wake, after an ECU reset, or every 6 hours, the Battery Management System (BMS) will test all bleed switches by switching them on in turn. If the sensed brick voltage does not significantly change, this alert is set.
There may be a decrease in available energy to the vehicle, reducing range and LV support.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected a high voltage sense harness (VSH) impedance.
The BMS detects a VSH impedance value above the threshold.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
High impedance was detected on one or more bricks.
Impedance for one or more bricks exceeds the noise threshold for several measurement counts.
One or more cells in a brick are likely missing, resulting in a high impedance current path. Other potential causes are a high Direct Current Resistance (DCR), intermittent anode laser weld on the given brick(s), or an islanded brick.
A State of Charge (SOC) correction of greater than 3% in the Battery Pack occurred during the previous resting period.
The battery management system (BMS) updated the high voltage (HV) battery State of Charge (SOC) by more than 3% while the vehicle rested.
Significant change in displayed range (range variation) while the vehicle was not used.
Calculated Amp-hour Capacity (CAC) difference of bricks within a module exceeds acceptable threshold. This results in reduced battery performance and limits maximum range. Vehicle enters Battery Management System (BMS) limp mode.
The estimated imbalance between the average CAC and minimum CAC within a single module exceeds the alert set threshold (CAC imbalance is not within acceptable range)
BMS limp mode is triggered, with another alert present to indicate this condition.
The battery management system (BMS) detects that the calculated Amp-hour capacity (CAC) difference between bricks within a single module exceeds the acceptable threshold, which may reduce battery performance.
The BMS detects that the estimated CAC imbalance between the average CAC and the minimum CAC of bricks within a single module exceeds the acceptable threshold
Reduced maximum range and limited charging performance.
The Calculated Amp-hour Capacity (CAC) difference of bricks within a module exceeds the acceptable threshold. This results in reduced battery performance and limits maximum range.
The estimated imbalance between the average CAC and minimum CAC within a single module exceeds the imbalance threshold.
Reduced battery performance and reduced maximum range.
The Bandolier Thermal Model for the battery pack was reset to thermistor temperatures.
The absolute delta between the modeled thermistor temperature and the actual is greater than than the reset threshold OR the model inputs become valid
Modeled thermal gradient across pack will be reset to thermistor temperatures
A given brick has an alpha signal below the alert alpha threshold.
The computed alpha estimate for a brick is repeatedly below the alert alpha threshold. The threshold comes over the Controller Area Network (CAN) via signal MCU_dSocAlertThreshold.
This alert is primarily informational and is used for logging purposes. No expected impact on vehicle functionality.
The battery management system (BMS) detects a condition internal to the high voltage (HV) battery that requires the max allowed brick voltage to be limited.
HVBATT_w724_deltaSocWeakShort is set and (UI_dSocAlertEnable==1 or dSocAlertEnabledByDefault==1).
The target max brick voltage for charge is limited to the voltage corresponding to 50% SOC.
A module temperature is above the warning temperature limit.
A module temperature is above the warning temperature limit for X duration (in seconds)
Power/drive limits may be reduced
A brick voltage is above the fault voltage limit.
A brick voltage is above the fault voltage limit for X duration (in seconds)
The vehicle may not drive or charge.
Warns if the shunt current (discharge or charge) is above max current limit.
The shunt current (discharge or charge) is above max current limit.
Not Available
The Range Extender (TREX) bus is in the error passive state.
The TREX bus is disconnected or is experiencing a condition affecting its functionality, causing it to enter the error passive state.
The TREX bus may be unable to communicate with other components.
The High Voltage System (HVS) bus is in the error passive state.
The HVS bus is disconnected or is experiencing a condition affecting its functionality, causing it to enter the error passive state.
The HVS bus may be unable to communicate with other components, which will lead to vehicle being unable to drive or charge.
The High Voltage System (HVS) bus is in the BusOff state.
HVS bus is experiencing a condition affecting its functionality, causing it to enter the BusOff state.
The HVS bus is unable to communicate with other components, which will lead to vehicle being unable to drive or charge.
