What does code P0B6A mean?

Q: What does code P0B6A mean?

Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Sense J Circuit Low. P0B6A indicates that the hybrid or electric vehicle battery pack's voltage sensing circuit for the 'J' cell group is reporting a voltage lower than the computer expects, which can be caused by a faulty sense wire, a weak cell, or a problem inside the battery pack. The powertrain control module sets this code when the signal from that specific voltage sense line falls below the calibrated threshold for a set time.
