DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The electrical hazard warning indicator (LED) will
illuminate if the BCM detects current leakage, or if
one of the high-voltage interlocks in the traction bus
or the auxiliary high-voltage bus is open. The
electrical hazard warning indicator will also flash
and the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will
illuminate if the BCM detects an improperly closed
or welded negative contactor. The LED is the same
one used for the theft indicator in the standard 2001
Ranger.
The auxiliary battery indicator indicates an auxiliary
battery charging malfunction. The indicator will
illuminate when auxiliary battery voltage drops
below 11.5 volts or rises above 15.75 volts until the
IAA module enters either its over-voltage or
under-voltage protection mode.
The low state of charge (SOC) indicator indicates
that the traction battery has a 10% remaining SOC.
Once the vehicle's traction battery reaches 0% SOC,
the indicator will flash. The indicator will also
illuminate or flash if a fault occurs in the system.
Instrument Cluster
The power limit warning indicator is illuminated by
the IAA module based upon data received from the
TIM through the SCP network. The indicator
indicates that the vehicle's performance has been
limited due to a low SOC or a vehicle malfunction.
The indicator will begin to flash when the vehicle's
performance is severely limited due to an extremely
low SOC or a vehicle malfunction. This indicates
that the vehicle's performance has been further
limited to allow for safe parking of the vehicle
before the vehicle becomes unmovable under its
own power. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) should
be retrieved from the TIM to determine the cause of
the indicator's illumination. Possible causes are
faults such as high temperature, a failure in the
battery or traction system, or a low traction battery
SOC.
