What does this fault code mean?
The battery charger control module (OBC) receives information about the car's current configuration from the central electronic module (CEM) over the CAN network. The fault is set when OBC's own configuration does not match the vehicle configuration. The fault code points to a control module from another car having been fitted, and charging the high voltage battery is not possible while it remains.
Possible causes
- Incorrect vehicle configuration, for example a used control module with different software or hardware from what the car requires
- The cause may lie in the control module that sends the configuration
What you can do
- 1Read out and erase the fault code, charge again and see whether it comes back
- 2Has the battery charger control module been replaced or is it used? Tell the workshop, since it then needs to be configured for your particular car
- 3Have a workshop reprogram the battery charger control module with the latest software for the car
- 4If it persists, have a workshop check the central electronic module (CEM) and load new software there. Do not work on the high voltage system yourself
Symptoms you may notice3
- Charging the high voltage battery from an external charging cable does not happen, is reduced or does not work correctly
- The LED on the charging cable or the charging socket shows a fault and charging is reduced
- A text message and a warning symbol are shown in the display
What the fault can affect1
- Charging the high voltage battery is not possible
