The BMS detects that the config block is missing.
The BMS is unable to initialize configuration parameters.
The battery management system (BMS) detects a battery monitoring board (BMB) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) configuration that is not supported.
The BMS calibration block is configurated for a BMB ASIC type that is not supported.
The BMS may be unable to obtain battery pack measurements.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that a brick is over-discharged.
The BMS detects that a brick voltage measured below the minimal threshold.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
A State of Charge (SOC) based on Open Circuit Voltage (OCV), known as SocByOcv, correction of greater than 3% to high voltage (HV) battery SOC occurred during the previous resting period (time vehicle was not used). This may cause a significant change in displayed range.
The battery management system (BMS) updated the high voltage (HV) battery State of Charge (SOC) by more than 3% based on SocByOcv (State of Charge by Open Circuit Voltage) while the vehicle rested (was not used).
Significant change in displayed range (range variation) while the vehicle was not used.
The battery management system (BMS) detects that the high voltage processor (HVP) configuration doesn't match.
The BMS detects an HVP configuration that does not match the expected configuration.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The battery management system (BMS) detects a large calculated amp-hour capacity (CAC) update.
The BMS detects a change in CAC above the limit threshold.
This alert is primarily informational.
The battery management system (BMS) detects that the high voltage (HV) isolation contactor closed below the warning threshold.
The BMS detects that the HV isolation was below the warning threshold when pack contactors closed.
This alert indicates that HV isolation is low, but above the sufficient level for vehicle operation.
The battery management system (BMS) detected a condition that indicates a BMB device fault.
Any BMB device in the daisy chain reports any of the monitored fault indicators.
This alert is primarily informational, and may indicate a potential BMB hardware failure that results in unreliable measurement data.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected a mismatch between the pack voltage and DC Link voltage.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected a mismatch between the pack voltage and DC Link voltage.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The Battery Management System (BMS) has detected one or more module temperatures exceed the warning threshold.
The maximum module temperature is greater than the warning threshold.
Vehicle performance is limited.
An uncorrectable error has been detected in the OTP (one-time programmable) memory for a battery monitoring board (BMB) device.
Any BMB device reports an uncorrectable error in the OTP memory.
This alert is primarily informational and is used for logging purposes. BMB device behavior may be impacted.
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.
The bleed FET will prevent the battery from properly balancing the brick by bleeding the voltage down. There is a decrease in available energy to the vehicle potentially leading to decreased range.
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
The battery management system (BMS) detects that the shunt is missing (MIA).
The BMS does not receive one or more expected CAN messages from the shunt.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that the shunt is unavailable (SNA).
The BMS does not receive consecutive current readings from the high voltage processor (HVP).
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The battery management system (BMS) detects that there is a coolant flood in the high voltage battery.
The BMS detects that isolation dropped below the minimum threshold when pack contactors are open and the low coolant signal is active.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The battery management system (BMS) detects that there is low high voltage isolation when pack contactors are opened.
The BMS detects that isolation dropped below the minimum threshold when pack contactors were open.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
