F/S Relay

The F/S (fail-safe) relay supplies the driving power for the system main relay inside the Li-ion battery. VCM activates the F/S relay to make the system main relay controllable when the system is set to READY or when the battery is charged.

When VCM detects a malfunction in the EV system and judges that the system main relay must be deactivated, VCM deactivates the F/S relay to shut off the system main relay driving power.
