- Battery not charging during braking
Common causes
- Hybrid battery state-of-charge issue
- Inverter malfunction
- Motor-generator fault
- Communication error between brake and hybrid modules
Diagnostic steps
- Check hybrid battery SOC and health
- Scan hybrid powertrain module for related codes
- Test motor-generator output during braking
