- Mild hybrid functions lost
- Warning indicator illuminated
- Potential electrical shock risk
- System enters safe mode
Common causes
- Moisture in 48V connector
- Damaged 48V cable insulation
- 48V battery case leak
- Component insulation breakdown
- Wiring chafed against chassis
Diagnostic steps
- Read 48V isolation resistance value
- Perform 48V isolation test per segment
- Inspect 48V wiring for damage
- Check 48V connectors for moisture
- Test 48V battery case integrity
