Alerts

Signal Name Description Condition Impact Important
The battery management system (BMS) forced pack contactors open due to one or more alerts.
One or more BMS alerts that force pack contactors are open.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
No
The battery management system (BMS) does not receive one or more expected controller area network (CAN) messages from the drive inverter (DI) and has reported it as missing (MIA).
The BMS has not received one or more expected CAN messages from the DI.
Power is reduced.
No
The battery management system (BMS) has lost data integrity due to a battery monitoring board (BMB) chain double break.
The BMS detects a prolonged communication issue with the BMB daisy chain that is known to cause a loss of BMB sensor data.
The BMS is likely performing BMB sensor data substitution to replace data missing due to the communication issue.
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects that the charge port (CP) is missing (MIA).
The BMS has not received one or more expected CAN messages from the CP.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects the vehicle gateway (GTW) as unavailable (MIA). BMS functions that depend on messages from the GTW may be unavailable.
The battery management system (BMS) does not receive the expected CAN messages from the vehicle gateway (GTW) during a certain amount of time.
Battery management system (BMS) functions that depend on messages from the vehicle gateway (GTW) may be unavailable, or their performance may be affected.
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects that vehicle controller front (VCFRONT) is missing (MIA) while the vehicle is not in a drive state.
The BMS has not received one more expected CAN messages from VCFRONT while not in drive.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects that vehicle controller front (VCFRONT) is missing (MIA) while the vehicle is in driving.
The BMS has not received one more expected CAN messages from VCFRONT while in drive.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
No
The battery management system (BMS) cannot communicate with all of the battery monitoring boards (BMBs).
A communication issue with the BMB daisy chain is detected.
This alert is primarily informational, and may indicate a loss of BMB sensor data
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects conditions that indicate a potential propagating thermal event.
Any detection mechanism (e.g. VoltageLoss, VoltageDeviation) has set and is enabled to signal a suspected thermal event.
Pack may remain inoperable and should be serviced according to proper procedures.
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects that a thermistor on a module is shorted or railed.
A battery monitoring board (BMB) detects that any of the thermistors on a module is reporting an out-of-bounds temperature.
The vehicle operates normally with only one thermistor on the module.
No
The battery management system (BMS) cannot measure the temperature on any module.
A battery monitoring board (BMB) detects that both thermistors on a module are reporting out-of-bounds temperatures.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
No
The battery management system (BMS) cannot measure one or more stack voltages.
The BMS detects it cannot measure one or more stack voltages.
Inability to charge.
No
A battery monitoring board (BMB) device has a mute status that does not align with the mute or unmute command sent by the battery management system (BMS).
Mute is disabled for any device while balancing, or otherwise enabled for any device.
Bleeding bricks that do not mute during balancing can impact the state of charge (SOC) estimation.
No
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.
No
The Battery Management System (BMS) detects an irrational thermistor.
A thermistor reports a temperature that the BMS considers irrational.
This alert is primarily informational.
No
The battery management system (BMS) detects a missing, incorrect, or unsupported config block.
The BMS detects that the config block is missing.
The BMS is unable to initialize configuration parameters.
No
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
No
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.
No
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
No
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.
No
