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
