Abstract: A fuse system includes a fuse element configured to receive a current. A controller is operatively connected to the fuse element and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for determining a remaining fuse life (LR) of the fuse element. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to determine a temperature (T) of the fuse element. The fuse system may be part of a vehicle. The controller may be configured to determine if the remaining fuse life is below first and second thresholds. If the remaining fuse life is above the second threshold, a first message may be displayed to a vehicle display. If the remaining fuse life is below the second threshold, the vehicle may be shifted to a predefined alternative operating mode.

Abstract translation: 保险丝系统包括被配置为接收电流的熔丝元件。 控制器可操作地连接到熔丝元件并且具有处理器和有形的非暂时性存储器，其上记录有用于执行用于确定熔丝元件的剩余熔丝寿命（LR）的方法的指令。 由处理器执行指令使得控制器确定熔丝元件的温度（T）。 保险丝系统可以是车辆的一部分。 控制器可以被配置为确定剩余熔丝寿命是否低于第一阈值和第二阈值。 如果剩余的保险丝寿命高于第二阈值，则可以向车辆显示器显示第一消息。 如果剩余的保险丝寿命低于第二阈值，则车辆可以移动到预定的替代操作模式。
