Technical FAQs 4

What happens if a hybrid battery is not insulated?

In simple terms, the high-voltage battery or connected components are no longer properly insulated from the vehicle’s chassis (ground). To protect both the car and its passengers, the system disables operation or sets a warning light. Your hybrid constantly monitors the resistance between the high-voltage system and ground.

What does p0aa6 mean on a hybrid battery?

Here are some of the common Loss of Isolation codes you might encounter: P0AA6: This code indicates a fault in the hybrid battery voltage system’s isolation. It’s a common alert signaling that there may be issues with the battery’s ability to stay isolated from other vehicle systems.

How do you isolate a hybrid battery?

Isolate the hybrid battery by disconnecting the battery ECU and HV wiring. Connect the positive lead of the megohm meter to the HV positive terminal. Connect the negative lead to chassis ground. Run the test at 500V or 1,000V, depending on tool and battery specs.

What happens if a high-voltage battery is not isolated?

A compromised cable or connector can allow moisture intrusion, further risking a loss of isolation. Such conditions can become dangerous if the high-voltage battery is powered without verifying isolation, underscoring the need for meticulous testing and maintenance procedures.
