The fault register REG09 locks the previous fault and only clears it after the register is read. For example, if Charge Safety Timer Expiration fault occurs but recovers later, the fault register REG09 reports the fault when it is read the first time, but returns to normal when it is read the second time. To verify real time fault, the fault register REG09 should be read twice to get the real condition. In addition, the fault register REG09 does not support multi-read or multi-write.

REG09 is a fault register. It keeps all the fault information from last read until the host issues a new read. For example, if there is a TS fault but gets recovered immediately, the host still sees TS fault during the first read. In order to get the fault information at present, the host has to read REG09 for the second time. REG09 does not support multi-read and multi-write.
