Read live data with a scan tool: compare 'HV battery pack voltage' and 'Battery Voltage Sense I' channel values
Verify presence of related DTCs and freeze frame data
Visually inspect harness, connectors, and routing for damage, corrosion, or pin issues at battery pack and control module
Check fuses and low-voltage power/ground circuits for the sensing electronics
Measure continuity and resistance of the sense wire(s) to the battery sensor and to the control module (with HV system de-energized and service disconnect installed)
Perform a wiggle test of harness/connectors while monitoring live data for intermittent faults

Sensing method: low-voltage feedback from a resistor-divider or dedicated sensor; control module reads ~0–5 V proportional to pack voltage
Expected pack voltage range: varies by vehicle (commonly ~144–800 V for HV systems) — check manufacturer spec
Expected sense signal: proportional 0–5 V (typical) — low fault may be below ~0.5 V or less than the expected scaled value for the actual pack voltage
Open/short indications: near 0 V can indicate short to ground; floating or >4.8 V can indicate open or faulted divider depending on design; confirm with model-specific data

Follow manufacturer HV system safety procedures and isolate the high-voltage system before any HV work (use service disconnect and PPE).
Connect a compatible scan tool and record DTCs, freeze frame, and live data for pack voltage and Battery Voltage Sense I.
Visually inspect connectors and wiring at the HV battery pack, battery sensing module, and vehicle control module for corrosion, loose pins, heat damage, or chafing.
With the HV system made safe per procedures, check fuses and low-voltage power/grounds feeding the battery sensing electronics; repair as needed.
Measure continuity and resistance of the sense wire between the battery sensing module and control module; compare to specifications and look for shorts to ground or to other circuits.
Re-energize the HV system only if safe and required by the diagnostic procedure. Back-probe the sense signal and measure the voltage while comparing to actual pack voltage. Verify the sense voltage scales correctly with pack voltage.
If the sense circuit is incorrect, isolate the faulty segment (connector, harness, sensor). Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors; replace the battery sensing module if it fails bench or on-vehicle tests.
Clear codes, perform relearn procedures if required, and verify correct operation on a road test or charge/discharge cycle.
If all wiring and sensor checks are good and the fault persists, consider replacing or reprogramming the control module per manufacturer guidance.
