In live data it seems to be happy when the resistance is below 1ohm, then it will jump to 2.55 and throw the fault and the warning will appear in the cluster. I suspect that 2.55 is not correct, more so the equivalent of Hex "FF" a...

With experience, product knowledge, technical data amongst other things, a lot of diagnostic value can be gained from a current measurement ! Further more if there is no voltage command there cannot be...
