Power On

  1. Driver switches car on, closes connection between aux battery and Chaos 
  2. Chaos turns Plutus on
  3. If no faults are detected by Plutus, battery relay and solar relay closes
  4. Chaos checks if DC-DC is functional, if so, switch power to DC-DC. This will also power all other LV components of the vehicle. If not, Chaos will go into a fault state, possible DC-DC failure
  5. Chaos will initiate pre-charge, and wait for the main relays to close via the sense wires
  6. If main relay closes, car is now ready to drive. If either doesn't, Chaos goes into another fault state, possible pre-charge or relay failure

Power Off

  1. Driver switches car off
  2. Chaos turns Pre-Charge off, main relays open and vehicle goes into discharge. If the main relays fail to open, a relay fault will be raised
  3. Chaos opens the solar relay, and battery relay
  4. Chaos and Plutus is now powered by the aux battery
  5. The vehicle is now off
  6. The aux battery can be disconnected through another switch
  • If kill switch is hit at any point, chaos will open all relays. Since the DC-DC is now off, pre-charge will open the main relays. 


Warnings to Driver: 

  • BMS fault
  • Aux battery fault
