Signal Name Description Condition Impact
The Battery Management System (BMS) detects an irrational thermistor.
A thermistor reports a temperature that the BMS considers irrational.
This alert is primarily informational.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that the high voltage interlock loop (HVIL) is shorted with the contactors closed.
The BMS detects that HVIL voltage is lower than expected.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
There is an external or internal isolation alert while pack contactors are closed.
The BMS detects that isolation is below the minimum threshold while contactors are closed.
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.
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.
BMS_w117_SW_Delta_SOC_Weak_Short 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.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that a brick's voltage slope is significantly less than average.
The BMS detects that brick voltage is staying constant even while pack current is rising or dropping.
Inability to charge, power is reduced, and regenerative breaking is reduced
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that the voltage of one or more of the stacks in the high voltage (HV) battery is too high.
The BMS detects that the voltage of a stack is above the maximum threshold.
Inability to charge
The battery management system (BMS) has detected a software overcurrent event.
The high voltage (HV) battery pack current (discharge or charge) exceeded the maximum limit.
Inability to charge, drive, or support the low voltage (LV) system
The High Voltage (HV) battery drive limits have been exceeded by the system.
The battery pack current exceeds the maximum allowed by the Battery Management System (BMS) while charging or discharging.
This alert is primarily informational and is used for logging purposes. No expected impact on vehicle functionality.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that at least one flood port is open.
The BMS detects that voltage of the flood port switch sensor indicates that one or more flood ports is open.
This alert is primarily informational and used for logging purposes.
The battery management system (BMS) has detected that a brick has shown second order instability noise.
The BMS detects that brickV[n], when compared with avgModulebrickV, shows large differentials and noise.
This alert is primarily informational.
