apm Posted July 22, 2020 at 07:46 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 at 07:46 PM Good afternoon Forum, Last night the engine light goes on. I do a scan on the Zus Health Monitor and I got 3 codes: P0562 Charging System Voltage Low P0DBA P0DE1 Does anyone know what those mean? Thanks, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16vjohn Posted July 27, 2020 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 at 06:21 PM Bad (or going bad) 12v battery, loose wires, or bad DC to DC converter. It's most likely a bad battery though, especially if it's more then 4 or 5 years old. Any corrosion/build-up on the 12v battery terminals?

BLFarnsworth Posted August 5, 2021 at 03:43 AM Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 at 03:43 AM (edited) A couple of days ago I started my 2015 Fusion Energi as usual and got the "See Manual" message, along with the orange wrench light. My FFE has 125K miles on it. I also noticed that the battery level indicator (the one that appears when the HVB is depleted and the car is in hybrid mode) was nearly "empty", and as close to zero as I've ever seen it. Usually in hybrid mode that battery indicator drops to maybe about halfway-empty on rare occasions. The manual said that it was a "Powertrain Fault". My local Ford dealer wanted to $180 just to "diagnose" the "See Manual" message so I went to Pep Boys. They used a simple handheld OBD reader and the code returned was: P0DBA Pep Boys gave me a printout that said the P0DBA code meant: "Hybrid/EV Battery Cell Balancing Circuit "D" Stuck Off: No Sub Type" I guess my only option now is to go back to the Ford dealer and pay the $180 to diagnose further. If I'm lucky that means the HVB went bad and Ford would replace it (the HVB)… But since everyone seems to say that Ford will do or say ANYTHING to chalk batteries to "Normal Wear and Tear" -- I'm not holding my breath. @apm have you found anything out about your codes, especially P0DBA? Does anyone have any other ideas for diagnosing further, without having to pay the dealer $180? Or has anyone else come across this P0DBA code before??? Thanks!

jsamp Posted August 5, 2021 at 09:49 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 at 09:49 PM While I hope it is not the HV battery gone bad, indications are it may be. Either that or the BCM electronics have an issue. Ford will gladly replace your HVB if that is what it truly is... but it will be at your expense. You have 125k miles and the hybrid components are only warranted for 100k. Greentecauto.com used to offer batteries for the Energi, but I just noticed they only list the Hybrid ones now. Maybe this one used (79k miles) might be of interest? https://www.partrequest.com/auto-parts-detail/battery-energi-se-plug-in-from-09-12-13-fits-2014-f-154247350286 Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
