Status Word

Alongside the mode, the system exposes a set of global application flags — the status word of the system. It is readable in the /app_flags state at the root level and broadcast to the host in the system status message. Where the mode tells the phase the system is in, the flags tell why it behaves the way it does — each bit is meaningful on its own:

BitNameMeaning
0EnabledThe system is enabled — the combined start request (CAN / GPIO per start_sel) is active
1IgnitionThe ICE shall run — mirrors the ignition relay: set through starting and running
2ReducedThe system is not capable of sinking the full torque — a controller of a pair is missing or in error, or any controller is derated (thermal or voltage limits)
3ICE reducedReserved for an ICE-side limitation — any reduction coming from the engine (for example temperature: too cold or too hot); never set yet
4CCConstant current — the current limiter is active (/dc/ibneg_bms, ibneg_total)
5CVConstant voltage — the DC voltage limiter is active (/dc/ubmax)
6BMS/Battery failureA failure of the BMS or the battery, as inferred by the SGCU — currently the battery current report timed out (only the summed-current limit keeps acting); reserved for further battery conditions (disbalanced, undercharged, …)
7ECU/ICE failureReserved for an ECU or engine failure indication, as inferred by the SGCU — the engine failure modes and the future ECU communication; never set yet

Reduced, CC and CV together explain a capability below the requested cmd: Reduced means the electrical machines themselves cannot take the full torque, while CC/CV mean the battery does not accept it — the generation is deliberately held back in a constant-current or constant-voltage charging regime.
