Causes
- High-voltage (HV) wiring, connectors or contactors fault
- Faulty battery current sensor (shunt) or measurement circuit
- Battery module or cell degradation causing high internal resistance
- BMS hardware/software fault or lost communication
- DC-DC converter or inverter related fault affecting discharge circuit
- HV fuse or fusible link open/partially open
Symptoms
- Battery warning or hybrid system warning lamp illuminated
- Reduced available drive power or limp-home mode
- Loss or reduction of regenerative braking
- Difficulties charging or rapid SOC changes during driving
- Unusual voltage drop under load, erratic state-of-charge
- Inability to start in electric mode or sudden change to ICE mode
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs and freeze-frame data; note conditions when code set
- Follow vehicle HV safety procedures (PPE, service disconnect) before any physical inspection
- Visually inspect HV wiring, connectors, contactors and fuses for damage, heat, corrosion or signs of arcing
- Check BMS and inverter/charger communication messages on CAN bus
- Measure open-circuit battery pack voltage and individual module voltages (compare to nominal values)
- Measure insulation resistance between HV positive/negative and chassis (megger) per manufacturer limits
Signal parameters
- Battery pack voltage: vehicle-dependent nominal value (e.g., commonly 200–800 V). Open-circuit pack voltage should match expected pack SOC
- Battery current: expected discharge current depends on throttle demand; look for smooth current profile and no sudden drops to zero under load
- Voltage drop across main contactor: typically low (much less than 1 V) when closed under load; higher drop indicates high resistance
- Current-sensor output: vehicle-specific (voltage, mV/shunt or CAN value). Should track commanded current linearly without spikes or missing data
- Module voltages: individual module deviation should be small; a single module out-of-range or large variance indicates internal failure
- Insulation resistance: manufacturer-specified minimum, commonly hundreds of kilo-ohms to mega-ohms to chassis
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record all DTCs, freeze-frame data and active/inactive status. Note operating conditions (SOC, temperature, load).
- Follow all HV safety and isolation procedures. Remove service plug or open service disconnect as required before probing HV circuits.
- Perform a visual inspection of the HV battery pack, contactors, main harness, connectors and HV fuses for damage, heat discoloration, loose terminals or corrosion.
- Check BMS and related modules for diagnostic trouble codes and CAN communication faults. Verify software/calibration level and apply any manufacturer updates if recommended.
- With appropriate isolation and test equipment, measure pack open-circuit voltage and compare to expected pack voltage for SOC. Measure individual module voltages for imbalance or out-of-range values.
- With safe procedures for measuring under load, verify battery current sensor (shunt) readings and compare to actual measured load current or commanded current from inverter/BMS.
- Measure voltage drop across main contactors and HV fuses under normal discharge conditions; replace contactor or repair connections if excessive resistance is found.
- Perform insulation resistance test (megger) between HV conductors and chassis to rule out leakage/ground faults.
- If module(s) show abnormal voltages or high internal resistance, perform capacity/imbalance testing (cell/module-level tests) per manufacturer procedures; consider module replacement or pack service.
- After repairs, clear codes, perform full system relearn/calibration if required, and conduct a controlled road test to verify normal discharge performance and confirm the DTC does not return.
- If fault persists or diagnosis is inconclusive, escalate to manufacturer-level diagnostics or specialized high-voltage battery laboratory testing.
Likely causes
- Open or high-resistance main contactor or precharge circuit
- Intermittent or failed current-sensing shunt or sensor harness
- Damaged HV wiring insulation or connector pins
- Degraded/failed battery module(s) creating pack imbalance
- Failed BMS cell monitoring module or CAN communication dropout
- Blown HV fuse or partially fused connection
