I can't advise you. Without tap voltages, it's 50/50. Since they don't clearly indicate a cell failure, it's better than 50%. That's all I can say.

The only danger is the reduced power and the eventual deterioration of the battery to the point that the car will no longer charge the 12V.

I thought it was the tap voltage we did...

is tap voltage a measure directly from the subpack?

You just measured the 11 tap voltages - where the BCM "taps" the pack to monitor subpack voltages.

Hi mr. Keith forgot to mention that the code error that dealer gave me is DTC P0A7F, If this can be any help....

Another question Mr. Keith,

on this post the operator mention the dealer has to reprogram the car when the battery is changed..

https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f...battery-27998/

I thought it's plug and play thing. Why this guy says it needs to be reprogram?

sorry for the trouble.

The check engine light and the ima went off for two days now. Wonder what that means? Recals are still very frequent.

I start to really hate that car...

Nothing has changed. Your battery has failed. You are just seeing differing responses to that failure. It could be temperature related, a change in driving conditions/style, etc.


The fact that you're having frequent recals and likely seeing reduced mileage are confirmation.


The car is continuing to behave in a manner consistent with a major system failure. If your increasing hatred of the car is because you are expecting it to "heal" or fix itself, I can promise you, it's only going to get worse.


Eventually, 12V charging will become unreliable - it might be a day, or it might be a year.


spare yourself the frustration:


1) sell it
2) scrap it
3) fix it


Continuing to ignore it is just going to keep a frustrating condition in your life.
