The bq7961X devices come equipped with many fault registers that help the user determine the cause and effect of signal noise between devices. Most importantly, we recommend always checking the FAULT_SUMMARY register to determine if an error occurs during communication. If the FAULT_SUMMARY flags a FAULT_COMM error then the next steps would be to read back the 3 FAULT_COMM1/2/3 registers and DEBUG registers to identify the exact issue. Refer to the bq79616-Q1 data sheet section 9.6.4.14 to learn more about these registers and indicators.
