Causes

Aging cells with reduced capacity
Cell or module internal resistance increase
Cell imbalance across modules
Partial or full cell/module failure
Thermal damage from overheating or poor coolant flow
Poor electrical connections or corrosion in HV wiring/connectors

Symptoms

Reduced electric range or shorter charge-to-charge driving distance
Reduced charge acceptance or slower recharge to full SOC
Reduced available power or frequent derating/limp mode during high load
Battery/EV warning lamp or hybrid system warning displayed
Increased charging/discharging heat, elevated pack temperatures
Inconsistent module voltages or larger-than-normal voltage spread between modules

What to check

Read and record all current and historical DTCs and freeze frame data from the BMS and vehicle control modules
Confirm vehicle operator reports and check battery state-of-health (SOH) and state-of-charge (SOC) values
Inspect high-voltage connectors, busbars and inter-module connections for corrosion, looseness or damage
Visually inspect pack for coolant leaks, impact damage or water ingress
Check pack and module temperatures across operating conditions for hot spots
Obtain individual module and cell voltages, and compare to nominal ranges and to each other

Signal parameters

Pack B total voltage (V)
Pack B current (A) during charge/discharge
Individual module or cell voltages (V) and min/max spread
Module/cell temperatures (°C) and maximum hotspot reading
State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) percentages
Internal resistance or impedance per module (mΩ) if available

Diagnostic algorithm

Retrieve all DTCs, freeze frame and BMS logs; note when deterioration was first detected. 2) Verify vehicle is in a safe, powered-down state and follow HV safety procedures before inspecting or testing. 3) Perform visual inspection of Pack B: check connectors, harnesses, coolant lines, and for physical damage or contamination. 4) With approved tools, measure pack voltage and compare to expected values; record module/cell voltages and temperature distribution at rest and under load/charge. 5) Check SOH and run any OEM BMS diagnostics or self-tests; review balancing operation and historical capacity data. 6) Test cooling system function (pump, valves, sensors) to rule out thermal causes of deterioration. 7) If cell/module voltages or SOH indicate weak modules, perform capacity/cell balancing test or controlled charge/discharge capacity test per manufacturer procedure. 8) Inspect and test HV interconnect resistance and contact integrity; repair/replace corroded or loose connectors. 9) If BMS or sensor fault suspected, verify sensor wiring and replace/repair as directed; consider BMS firmware update if applicable. 10) If one or more modules are confirmed degraded beyond service limits, follow OEM guidance for module replacement or complete Pack B replacement. 11) Clear codes, perform relearn procedures if required, and road test; recheck SOH and for recurrence of DTC. Note: follow manufacturer-specific service manual and HV safety protocols at every step.

Likely causes

One or more modules in Pack B have significantly lower capacity or higher internal resistance than the rest
Intermittent or resistive high-voltage connections increasing losses
Cooling system fault causing elevated cell temperature and accelerated degradation
BMS measuring circuitry failure or incorrect cell voltage/temperature inputs
Long-term state-of-charge extremes or frequent fast-charging accelerating deterioration

Fault status

⚠️ Status

BMS reports Battery Pack B deterioration: pack capacity/health below threshold or module(s) degraded; service required. Vehicle may show reduced range or power and possible system derate.
