Causes
- Normal age-related cell capacity loss (end of useful life)
- Cell or module internal degradation (high internal resistance)
- Thermal damage from overheating or poor cooling
- Manufacturing defect in cells or modules
- Single module or sensor failure within pack F
- BMS software, calibration or sensor fault producing false degradation reading
Symptoms
- Battery system warning lamp or EV/Hybrid malfunction indicator
- Reduced driving range and/or reduced available charge capacity
- Reduced torque or power availability (limp/limited performance mode)
- Longer or reduced charge acceptance, slower charging
- Inaccurate SOC/SOH readings or rapid SOC change
- Possible thermal management warnings or elevated pack/module temperatures
What to check
- Read and record freeze-frame data, pending codes and BMS-specific data with a capable scan tool
- Verify SOC and SOH values for pack F and compare to other packs (if applicable)
- Inspect HV connectors, interconnects, fuses, and module harnesses for corrosion, damage, or looseness
- Check battery cooling/heating system operation and look for blockages or leaks
- Verify BMS communications on vehicle network (CAN/HVCAN) for errors or lost packets
- Visual inspection of pack for water ingress, physical damage or signs of thermal events
Signal parameters
- Pack F total voltage (V) — compare to expected pack voltage range
- Individual module/cell voltages (V) — highest, lowest and delta across modules
- Module internal resistance or calculated cell impedance (mΩ)
- State of Health (SOH) percentage for pack F and modules
- State of Charge (SOC) for pack F
- Charge/discharge current (A) and charge acceptance rate (ΔSOC per Ah)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Safety first — follow high-voltage safety procedures, isolate HV system, PPE and manufacturer lockout.
- Use a manufacturer-capable diagnostic tool to read P0EE1, related codes, freeze-frame and BMS logs. Note occurrence conditions (SOC, temp, load).
- Confirm code is current vs. past/pending. Clear codes only after recording data and see if code returns under similar conditions.
- Compare SOH and capacity of pack F to other packs/modules (if multi-pack system). Look for one module significantly below others.
- Inspect visually and physically: connectors, module harnesses, cooling plumbing, vent paths, signs of corrosion or damage to pack F.
- Measure pack and individual module voltages and temperatures at rest and during charge/discharge. Look for high voltage delta or unstable measurements.
- Perform insulation resistance test on HV system per manufacturer spec to rule out leakage affecting BMS readings.
- If available, perform a capacity/charge-acceptance test or controlled load/discharge to quantify usable capacity of pack F modules.
- Check BMS/calibration and software version. Re-flash/update BMS software or recalibrate sensors if manufacturer procedure indicates.
- If a specific module is confirmed degraded (low capacity, high IR), consider module replacement or pack repair per manufacturer service instructions. If BMS or sensors are faulty, replace those components and verify.
- After repair or replacement, re-run capacity tests and road/charge cycles to confirm the code does not return. Record final SOH and test results.
Likely causes
- One or more modules in pack F with significantly reduced capacity or high IR
- BMS sensor or wiring fault reporting incorrect voltages/temperatures for pack F
- Cooling system failure causing elevated module temperatures and accelerated deterioration
- Intermittent CAN or HVCAN communication errors causing erroneous diagnostics
Fault status
Status
Hybrid/EV battery pack F deterioration detected by BMS — pack performance or health below threshold. Further diagnostic tests required; vehicle may limit performance or charging.
Repair difficulty: Hard
Diagnostic time: 4-10 hours
