Causes
- Blown/open HV fuse B (overcurrent or age)
- Short circuit or high current draw downstream of Fuse B
- Damaged or corroded fuse holder, terminals or harness
- Water intrusion or contamination at fuse or connectors
- Failed downstream component (inverter, DC–DC converter, battery module) causing fuse to open
- Incorrect replacement fuse or service damage during maintenance
Symptoms
- HV subsystem protected by Fuse B does not receive battery voltage
- Vehicle fails to enter ready/drive mode or goes into limp/safe mode
- One or more HV-related warning lights or messages on dash (HV system, READY, service required)
- No function of specific HV component(s) (e.g., inverter B, charger circuit)
- Possible burning smell or visible damage near fuse area after fault
What to check
- Follow manufacturer HV safety procedures before any inspection (PPE, HV isolation, service plug/disconnect)
- Visually inspect HV fuse B and holder for melting, discoloration, or damage
- Check continuity of fuse with an appropriate meter after HV isolation; good fuse shows very low resistance, blown shows open circuit
- Measure battery pack voltage at fuse input and expected output (with HV system isolated and safe procedures)
- Inspect adjacent connectors, wiring harness, and routing for abrasion, heat damage or contamination
- Scan vehicle for additional HV or related DTCs to identify downstream faults
Signal parameters
- Expected continuity across an intact HV fuse: near 0 ohms (manufacturer spec; typically milliohms)
- Open-circuit fuse: infinite resistance / no continuity
- Battery pack nominal voltage present at fuse input (example: 300–800 V depending on vehicle)
- Voltage at fuse output should match input when fuse intact (within small drop)
- Downstream current should be 0 A with system disabled; during normal operation current varies by load (check vehicle-specific values)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Ensure only trained technicians perform HV work. Disable and isolate high-voltage system per manufacturer procedure; wear required PPE.
- Step 1: Visual inspection — with HV isolated, inspect Fuse B, holder, nearby wiring, and connectors for damage, melting, discoloration, or contamination.
- Step 2: Continuity test — remove fuse assembly if required and measure continuity across the fuse. If open, replace with correct OEM-rated fuse.
- Step 3: Inspect downstream components — if fuse is blown, inspect the circuit downstream for shorts or failed components (inverter, converter, motor, battery module). Look for burnt wiring or damaged components.
- Step 4: Measure voltages — with HV still isolated where applicable, then re-energize per safe procedure to measure voltage at fuse input and output to confirm restore after replacement.
- Step 5: Insulation check — perform an insulation resistance test on the HV circuit to detect leakage or short to chassis that caused fuse failure.
- Step 6: Repair and replace — fix any damaged wiring or failed components found; replace the HV fuse only with the correct type and rating.
- Step 7: Clear codes and test — clear DTCs, re-enable HV system, and perform functional test/road test to confirm no recurrence. If fuse blows again, perform deeper fault isolation on downstream loads.
- Document findings and advise replacement of any components that caused overcurrent rather than only replacing the fuse.
Likely causes
- Fuse element melted from a surge or sustained overcurrent
- Insulation damage in HV wiring causing short to chassis or other conductor
- Welded or stuck contactor allowing fault current
- Battery module internal failure producing overcurrent
- Loose or corroded HV fuse connections causing intermittent open
Fault status
Status
High Voltage Fuse B open or blown. Loss of HV supply to the protected circuit; inspect/replace fuse and diagnose cause of overcurrent or short.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
