Common causes
- Hybrid battery cooling fan or filter blocked
- Weak hybrid battery cells
- Inverter or motor fault
- High-voltage wiring problem (dealer repair)
What to do
- Read all stored and pending codes with a scanner. Several codes together often point to one cause.
- Note the freeze frame data (speed, temperature, load) recorded when the code was set.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors of the part named in the code for damage, corrosion or looseness.
- Fix the most likely and cheapest cause first, then clear the code and drive to see if it comes back.
