GML – General Malfunction Light

MIL – Malfunction Indicator Light

(Powertrain Error)

Low Battery Power

HV Warning – High Voltage Warning

Overheating

Limp Mode #

Vehicle will be limited to roughly 20 MPH and have reduced motor torque. Limp mode is intended to get the vehicle and the driver to a safe place to stop and should not be driven in limp mode for extended periods of time.

Vehicle Disable #

If any faults cause a serious problem that may endanger the vehicles occupants or the car itself, the vehicle may be disabled. Level 1 disable (most common) turns the car off after it has come to a stop. Level 2 disable immediately turns the car off (ex. in the event of a wreck). Some faults may cause only the drive motor inverter to be disabled.
