1. A leakage detection system for a battery pack of a vehicle comprising:
- detection circuitry having a first side connecting a positive terminal of the pack to ground and a second side connecting a negative terminal of the pack to ground, and including no more than one switch among the sides;
measurement circuitry configured to measure a voltage at a resistor of one of the sides when the switch is open and closed; and
a controller programmed to control the switch to open and close according to at least one trigger event, and to output a leakage associated with the battery pack based on the voltage at the resistor when the switch is open and closed according to the trigger event,wherein the switch and measurement circuitry are disposed on opposite ones of the sides of the detection circuitry.

Abstract
A leakage detection system for a battery pack of a vehicle may include detection circuitry having a first side connecting a positive terminal of the pack to ground and a second side connecting a negative terminal of the pack to ground, and including no more than one switch among the sides. The system may also include measurement circuitry configured to measure a voltage across a resistor of one of the sides when the switch is open and closed, and a controller programmed to output a leakage associated with the battery pack based on the voltage.
