This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's computer is getting a signal from the battery that is too high. It's like when you turn the volume up too loud on a radio.
The voltage sensor in the Battery Energy Control Module 'B' is detecting a voltage level that is higher than expected.
This code indicates that the Battery Energy Control Module 'B' has detected an abnormally high voltage reading from the Voltage Sensor 'A'. This could be due to a malfunction in the sensor, wiring issues, or a problem within the module itself.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Possible battery charging issues
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Faulty voltage sensor
• Wiring issues such as shorts or open circuits
• Defective Battery Energy Control Module
Voltage Sensor: A device that measures the voltage level in a circuit.
Battery Energy Control Module: A module that manages the charging and discharging of the vehicle's battery.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connections to the voltage sensor.
• Test the voltage sensor for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Replace the faulty voltage sensor.
• Replace or reprogram the Battery Energy Control Module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Chevrolet Volt
• Cadillac ELR
• Chevrolet Spark EV
• Regularly check battery health.
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
• Perform routine maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved.
• Consult with a professional mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on battery and control module components.
This code has been associated with hybrid and electric vehicles, where battery management is crucial.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to prevent potential battery damage.
Driving with an unresolved electrical issue can lead to further vehicle damage or safety risks.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Battery fully charged
The Battery Energy Control Module is typically located near the vehicle's battery pack.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active, as it may lead to battery or electrical issues.
Q: How do I reset the code?
A: Fix the underlying issue and use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code.
