Control command (to...... is absent)
This isn't a concrete item, AFAICS, it looks more like a message that the command generator has failed to send.

Thank you; I feel that "command" or "message" should perhaps be included, though I've no strong opinion on that.

Actuator
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator
An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, for example by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover".
... in this case, for moving & controlling the main switch of the battery pack

: M. E. ist hier der Hauptschalter der Aktuator, der durch ein elektrisches Signal angesteuert wird. Es wird nach der "Ansteuerung" gefragt.

Discussion
How are you reading "Eine Ansteuerung [...] unterbleibt"?
A physical thing that is omitted/absent?
An 'intangible' signal/process that ceases?
