INTERACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE

The request is valid, but the interaction doesn’t apply to this vehicle. For example, a select-battery-capacity interaction returns this error when the vehicle has fewer than two available battery capacities, because the vehicle owner has nothing to choose.

INTERACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "status": "422",
            "type": "VALIDATION",
            "code": "INTERACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE",
            "title": "Interaction Not Applicable",
            "detail": "This vehicle doesn't have more than one battery capacity option, so there's nothing for the owner to choose. Read its capacity from the tractionbattery-nominalcapacity signal."
        }
    ]
}

Suggested resolution

Don’t send the vehicle owner through this interaction. Retrying the request won’t change the result.

Troubleshooting Steps

• For select-battery-capacity, read the vehicle’s capacity from the TractionBattery.NominalCapacity signal instead.
• Check the signal’s availableCapacities before you create the interaction. Only create it when there is more than one option.
