About 150 pages ago, possibly in another thread, someone mentioned that a less severe version of welding was pitting on the relays. If pitted, that increases the resistance, making failure more likely. If the software fix includes monitoring resistance of the HVBJB, which they say it does, then it should know if this state exists. What happens next though? Stop Safely Now on first boot with new software? Some sort of restricted power mode with Service Required warning? Some combination of both depending on pre-determined resistance levels?This is what I really want to know. Have past incidents of DCFC and flooring it without the updated software weakened or damaged the HVBJB in some way, making it more likely to fail in the future?
On the "bright" side, given that pitting makes welding much more likely, I can't imagine that someone managed to pit them and then changed their driving/charging/whatever practices enough to not have a failure.
