Abstract
A method of operating an electrified vehicle having a front axle disconnect is provided. A powertrain supervisor controller determines that the electrified vehicle needs to be secured due to an internal reason. The powertrain supervisor controller determines whether a front axle status is one of faulted or disengaged. The powertrain supervisor controller requests, based on the front axle status being faulted, engagement of an electronic park brake when securement conditions are active. A message indicative of a front axle disconnect status is displayed at a human machine interface.
