What Happens When Battery Dies While Driving. Something is wrong with the fuel pump. If you have no gas you can limp for a while until the battery dies at which point I believe it triggers trouble codes and shuts off.
If the battery light comes on and your vehicle dies while driving its usually a very big indication your alternator took a dump and therefore you were running on just battery power and then it ran out and car died. A short in the 12 volt battery would take out ANY car. Id have alternator tested as well.
The main causes of a died in flight are a bad alternator and dead battery.
When the car battery is not working properly or not in good shape the alternator works harder to keep the voltage at the proper level to keep the engine running. What causes a car to just die while driving. Continue the diagnostics of the trouble code if you get any. The range and battery meter is located in the top left corner of Teslas large touchscreen display.
