P0ABE Severity
Should you fix P0ABE yourself?
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0ABE?
The high voltage battery is composed of many individual battery cells (sometimes over 300 cells). Those cells are then grouped together. each group has a voltage monitor attached to it that tells the battery control module (or hybrid powertrain control module) the available voltage for each cell group. If a cell group's voltage is less than what it should be, code P0ABE is set.
