Open, short to ground, or short to battery voltage in the precharge contactor control wiring
Blown fuse or fault in low-voltage supply feeding the contactor driver
Faulty precharge contactor (coil or internal driver failure)
Corroded/loose connector or pin issue at contactor, relay, or controller
Faulty control module (BMS/PCM/BCM) or its driver transistor
Low 12V accessory battery or poor battery connections preventing proper drive voltage

Read and record freeze frame and all related EV/HV codes with a capable scan tool
Verify 12V accessory battery state-of-charge and terminal condition
Inspect fuses, fusible links, and relays supplying the contactor driver
Visually inspect wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose terminals at contactor and module
Backprobe the contactor control pin at the contactor and at the module while commanding ON/OFF
Measure coil resistance and continuity of the precharge contactor (with HV system removed and made safe)

Control command voltage (expected): ~0 V when OFF, approximately battery voltage (9–14 V) when ON — actual depends on vehicle design
Contactor coil resistance (typical): low ohms; consult service manual. Many precharge contactor coils measure in the single-digit to few tens of ohms range
When contactor is commanded ON: continuity across main contactor terminals (load side) should be near zero/very low ohms; when OFF: open circuit
No-load current draw of the coil when energized: small but measurable; absence of expected voltage or current indicates driver or supply issue

Capture freeze frame and any related codes. Note vehicle state (SOC, HV interlock status).
Confirm 12V battery health and primary fuses. Replace or charge if low.
Inspect connectors and harness from the control module to the precharge contactor for physical damage or corrosion.
With vehicle in a safe, powered-down state and following manufacturer HV safety procedures, isolate HV system before performing resistance/continuity checks.
Measure contactor coil resistance at the contactor. Compare to service manual. An open or very high value indicates a failed coil/contact.
Reconnect low-voltage system. Backprobe the control wire at the contactor connector. Command precharge ON using a scan tool while observing voltage on the control pin (expect ~battery voltage when ON).

Broken or pinched wire between the controlling module and the precharge contactor coil
Failed contactor coil (open or high resistance)
Blown inline fuse or fusible link on the contactor control circuit
Connector corrosion at contactor or control module producing high resistance/low voltage
Control module output transistor failed low (internal short)
