Hybrid/EV Battery Precharge Contactor Control Circuit High

High severity

What it means

The HV battery precharge contactor reports a control circuit high condition. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
