Abstract
A diagnostic system for a vehicle electrical system includes a first voltage divider circuit that outputs a second voltage in response to a first voltage, and a second voltage divider circuit that outputs a third voltage in response to the first voltage. An analog-to-digital converter outputs first and second voltage values, respectively, based on the second and third voltages, respectively. A microcontroller determines a first compensated voltage value utilizing the first voltage value and a compensation value. The microcontroller determines a difference value based on the first compensated voltage value and the second voltage value. The microcontroller commands the high side driver circuit and the low side driver circuit to transition the contactor to an open operational position when the difference value is greater than a threshold difference value.
