P0B3C Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Sense A Circuit Range/Performance
The BMS detects a circuit range/performance fault on voltage sense channel A of the high-voltage battery. Cell-group voltage measurement is unreliable on this channel.
Is it safe to drive with P0B3C?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
Common causes
- Most likelySense voltage drifted
- PossibleHigh-resistance contact
- Less likelySensor element aged beyond calibration window
Symptoms
