This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has detected that the temperature of the battery monitor module is too cold. It's like when your phone gets too cold and doesn't work right.
The Battery Monitor Module is responsible for keeping track of the battery's performance. If it gets too cold, it might not work properly, which can affect how the battery charges and discharges.
The P058F code is triggered when the Battery Monitor Module detects a temperature that is below the operational threshold. This can affect the module's ability to accurately monitor and manage the battery's state of charge and health.
• Check engine light is on
• Battery performance issues
• Possible starting problems
• Ambient temperature is too low
• Faulty Battery Monitor Module
• Wiring issues or poor connections
Battery Monitor Module: A component that monitors the state of the battery, including charge and health.
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system for vehicle self-diagnostics and reporting.
• Check the ambient temperature conditions
• Inspect the Battery Monitor Module for faults
• Examine wiring and connections for damage or corrosion
• Replace the Battery Monitor Module if faulty
• Repair or replace damaged wiring
• Ensure connections are secure and free of corrosion

Moderate
• Chevrolet Volt
• Toyota Prius
• Nissan Leaf
• Store vehicle in a warmer environment during cold weather
• Regularly check battery and module connections
• Perform routine maintenance checks
Sensor Issue
• Avoid using the vehicle in extremely cold conditions if possible
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if the check engine light is on
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on battery-related components.
This code has become more common with the increased use of electric and hybrid vehicles, which rely heavily on battery monitoring systems.
Moderate – While it may not immediately affect drivability, it can lead to battery issues if not addressed.
Driving with an unresolved issue related to the battery system can lead to further vehicle damage or safety risks.
• Cold weather conditions
• Vehicle parked outdoors overnight
The Battery Monitor Module is typically located near the vehicle's battery, often in the engine bay or trunk area.
Q: Can I drive with a P058F code?
A: It's not recommended to ignore this code, as it can lead to battery performance issues. Have it checked by a professional.
Q: Will the P058F code clear itself?
A: The code may clear if the temperature rises, but if the issue persists, it should be addressed to prevent further problems.
