‍

Why This Happens:

• Battery module failure.
  
• Cell imbalance or overheating.
  
• Faulty voltage or temperature sensor.
  
• Corroded battery connectors.
  
• Control module malfunction.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Scan system for diagnostic codes.
   
2. Test voltage and temperature sensors.
   
3. Perform battery rebalancing or recalibration.
   
4. Replace damaged cells or modules.
   
5. Ensure module firmware is updated.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Perform monthly battery inspections.
  
• Keep terminals clean and tight.
