Driver status word is also non-zero in some cases of hardware fault. Each bit of driver status word represents one of situations listed below. Driver status word can be found in /driver/stat.

For convenience and accessibility, after triggering, the bits in /driver/stat are kept set for at least a second. Similarly, the bits are reset all at once, only if all the triggers are clear for more than one second.
