Q: What does code P0B96 mean?

Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Sense S Circuit Range/Performance. P0B96 indicates that the hybrid or electric vehicle battery pack's voltage sensing circuit for the 'S' module is reporting a voltage outside the expected range or is not performing as designed. The battery energy control module compares the sensed voltage against the sum of individual cell voltages and flags a fault when the reading is implausible, erratic, or out of specification.
