The low voltage battery management system (LVBMS) is reporting the low voltage (LV) battery's electronic connector position assurance (E-CPA) is not secure, which could result in the LV battery becoming disconnected from the rest of the vehicle electrical systems. This could occur due to the E-CPA locking tab not being fully pushed down, or communication issues between the LVBMS and vehicle controller.
