8.3.4.3.2 LED Short Fault (LED_SHORT)

Shorted LED fault is detected if one or more LED outputs are above the VHIGH_COMP threshold (typical 6 V) and at least one LED output is inside the normal operation window (between VLOW_COMP and VMID_COMP, typical 0.9 V and 1.9 V). The shorted string is disconnected from the boost adaptive control loop and its output is disabled.

LED Open fault detection and LED Short fault detection are available only in NORMAL state.

If LED fault is detected, the device continues normal operation and only the faulty string is disabled. The fault is indicated via the FAULT pin which can be released by toggling VDDIO/EN pin low for a short period of 2 µs to 20 µs. LEDs are turned off for this period but the device stays in NORMAL state. If VDDIO/EN is low longer, the device goes to STANDBY and restarts when EN goes high again.

This means if the system doesn't want to simply disable the device because of LED faults. It could clear the LED faults by toggling VDDIO/EN pin low for a short period of 2 µs to 20 µs.
