P2BE2: Hybrid/EV Battery Coolant Level Sensor Circuit Low

The hybrid control module detects a circuit low fault on the high-voltage battery coolant level sensor. Coolant loss in the battery loop cannot be detected reliably.

High severity. Can I keep driving?If the car still runs, drive as little as possible and go to a specialized repair shop. Do not touch the orange cables: they carry high voltage.

Symptoms

  • EV/hybrid system warning light on
  • Reduced power output or limp mode
  • Charging may fail or be slowed
  • Reduced electric range

Most likely causes

  • Signal wire shorted to ground
  • Internal sensor short
  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

What to check, in order

Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.

Good to know

  • Repair difficulty: medium
  • It can trigger limp mode.

What each character of P2BE2 means

  • P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
  • 2: Generic code: same on every make
  • B: Subsystem depends on the code range
  • E2: Specific fault in that system
