    I cant seem to catch a break. Replaced my engine water pump 2 days ago everything was fine for 2 days and now I have new codes.

    P0A80 replace hybrid battery pack
    C1657 Hybrid powertrain control module

    Battery blocks- sitting overnight in about 35 degree weather
    1- 16.40v 0.024ohm
    2- 16.38v 0.024ohm
    3- 16.31v 0.023ohm
    4- 16.33v 0.023ohm
    5- 16.31v 0.023ohm
    6- 16.36v 0.022ohm
    7- 16.31v 0.022ohm
    8- 16.33v 0.022ohm
    9- 16.31v 0.022ohm
    10- 16.33v 0.023ohm
    11- 16.28v 0.024ohm
    12- 16.33v 0.024ohm
    13- 16.33v 0.024ohm
    14- 16.45v 0.025ohm

    Iv read .3v difference will set the code, is that correct? Can't find any info on C1657 either.
    Any experts plz help.

    P0A80 should have freeze frame data available. The freeze frame data should provide additional details so you're not guessing at the problem.

    This fault isn't always caused simply by a module having a low voltage. It can also be triggered by a loss of HV isolation resistance caused by an electrolyte leak. Although a leak will cause a lower resistance, it rarely causes a significant drop in module voltage. You should be able to recognize a leaky module since they usually have a residue at the bottom of the module on the metal base plate, which also causes a dark discoloration. Although it's usually observable at the edges of the modules, sometimes it's hidden under the modules out of immediate sight. In this case, it can usually be seen easily by looking into the plenum under the modules.
