P3000 OBD-II: Manufacturer Controlled DTC

P3000 Severity

Moderate

Will P3000 go away on its own?

Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.

For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.

Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.

Schedule Diagnosis

What causes OBD-II fault code P3000?

The Battery Smart Module monitors the High Voltage Battery's State Of Charge. If the High Voltage Battery's state of charge decreases and is unable to recharge itself during normal operating procedures, the Battery Control Module will set code P3000. Low fuel level may also cause this code to set.
