A vehicle, electrical system of the vehicle, and a method of detecting a fault occurring in the electrical system. The electrical system includes an electronic control unit, a sensor configured to obtain a measurement of a parameter of the electronic control unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a parasitic load at the electronic control unit from the measurement of the parameter, identify a type of fault occurring at the electronic control unit due to the parasitic load based on the measurement, and perform an action at the electrical system based on the type of fault.
