Abstract

One or more controllers may, after activation of a vehicle, sequentially pulse field effect transistors of a power distribution module of the vehicle that are connected to inputs of an upfitter power module, and preclude operation of the upfitter power module responsive to, for at least two of the field effect transistors, electrical parameters resulting from the corresponding pulses being reported for a same one of the inputs.
