What does code P0DD9 mean?

Q: What does code P0DD9 mean?

Hybrid/EV Battery Cell Balancing Circuit L Stuck On. P0DD9 indicates that the battery management system has detected the cell balancing circuit for the 'L' phase or group stuck in the active state, meaning it cannot turn off the balancing current for that section of the high-voltage battery. The computer monitors the balancing circuit's control line and sees it remain energized even when commanded off, which can lead to uneven cell voltages and potential overheating of the balancing resistor.
