VCFRONT_a180 — DCDC Not Supporting LV Bus

Full alert identifier: VCFRONT_a180_DCDCNotSupportingLVBus

Message shown in the car

Electrical system power reduced Vehicle may shut down unexpectedly

Alert description

The low voltage (LV) bus and LV battery are not adequately supported by the power conversion system (PCS).

Potential impact

The low voltage electrical system cannot continue to power all vehicle features when the LV bus is not adequately supported. It may be necessary to shed some vehicle electrical loads by cutting power to less essential electronic control units (ECUs), and another alert will be present to indicate that condition. Vehicle may be unable to drive or continue driving, with another alert present to indicate that condition.

Set condition

There is 0.5V or greater difference between the PCS voltage and the LV battery voltage.

Clear condition

There is less than 0.5V difference between the PCS voltage and the LV battery voltage.
