KPS Ballast Switch Overload During Charging

What does Ballast switch energized for too long PMx during charging mean?

The brake resistor experienced an I²t overload during the charging phase. This indicates that the ballast switch was energized for an excessive duration, possibly due to a defective ballast resistor or incorrect connection.

• Ballast switch in KPS remains energized for too long during the charging phase.
• Faulty ballast switch not de-energizing correctly.
• Control signal for the ballast switch is stuck 'on'.
• Incorrect timing in the charging sequence.

1. 1

   Check the ballast resistor for defects, including open circuits or incorrect resistance values.

2. 2

   Verify the correct wiring and connection of the ballast resistor to the KPS module.
