High Voltage Battery Pack Severe Deterioration

The powertrain control module has determined that the high-voltage lithium traction battery pack has degraded past an acceptable engineering limit. The battery's internal chemical cells can no longer sustain proper high-current output, heavily capping available vehicle acceleration and total driving range.

Step-by-Step Fix Instructions

  1. 1

    Run an integrated multi-hour automated battery capacity state-of-health test sequence through the factory service console.

  2. 2

    Use data logging software to map out individual parallel block cell voltage sag numbers under aggressive acceleration loads.

  3. 3

    Apply any revised battery management computer firmware logic profiles meant to optimize weak module performance metrics.

  4. 4

    Perform an isolation sequence, discharge system capacitance values, and lower the heavy main battery tray.

  5. 5

    Unseal the protective battery tray top lid to remove and install individual capacity-matched lithium cell packs.

  6. 6

    Install a new or factory-recertified structural high-voltage traction battery pack assembly.

Check Your Warranty Before Paying

Federal law requires EV battery warranty coverage for 8 years / 100,000 miles minimum. Many manufacturers offer 10-year coverage. An authorized dealership can confirm coverage for your VIN at no charge.
