P2E6E Hybrid/EV Battery Pack A Cell Thickness Sensor Circuit Low
The cell thickness sensor of HV battery pack A reports voltage below the expected window. Cell-group voltage monitoring is the foundation of HV battery safety — drift here triggers contactor opening, charge inhibit, and reduced power to protect the pack.
Is it safe to drive with P2E6E?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
