Abstract
A diagnostic having an analog-to-digital converter that is electrically coupled to an output port of a first analog multiplexer and an output port of a second analog multiplexer is provided. The analog-to-digital converter receives the high side voltage level signal and the low side current level signal at first and second times, respectively, and outputs a high side voltage value and a low side current value, respectively, based on the high side voltage level signal and the low side current level signal, respectively, that are received by a microcontroller. The microcontroller commands a high side driver circuit and a low side driver circuit to transition a contact of the contactor to an open operational position when the first analog multiplexer is malfunctioning based on the high side voltage value.
