1. A method of detecting a thermal event associated with a battery assembly of an electrified vehicle, comprising:
obtaining a temperature reading from a sensor associated with an area of the battery assembly;
assessing whether the sensor is flagged with a first identifier or a second identifier, the first identifier indicating that the temperature reading is reliable, the second identifier indicating that the temperature reading is unreliable; and
if the sensor is flagged with the first identifier, detecting a thermal event associated with the battery assembly based on the temperature reading from the sensor,
wherein the temperature reading is a current temperature reading, and further comprising flagging the sensor with the second identifier based on the current temperature reading during a current drive cycle, and based further on a past temperature reading from the sensor during a preceding drive cycle.
