Hi
i had P1448 error and one the hybrid technician replaced the hybrid fan and when the lights came back again was suggested to replace the hybrid battery .

Now that the hybrid battery is replaced with a new battery , i am seeing POAE1 the very next day ?

Also when it was diagnosed earlier it had 61-01, 61-21 61-01, 61-23 ? and B2989 codes.

ALso the main 12V battery was replaced last october by AAA 151R battery.

I am at my wits end with this car. Can this be related to main battery or connector ?

I have already spend 3K on this car and i am at the point of giving up .

Except the code coming up . there is no problem with the car and it has around 90K miles on it

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

P1448: Bad Fan or Bad BCM
61-01 - Not valid
61-21, 23 - Short in the drivers seat belt buckle switch
P2989 - problem in the A/C compressor motor - Intermittent, Bad #22 fuse, bad A/C compressor
P0AE1 - Bypass contactor malfunction - bad DC/DC converter, Bad IMA battery (contactor), Bad BCM, Bad MCM.

Diags for P1448 and P0AE1 are very involved with each having over 30 steps. I suspect your "hybrid technician" just guessed.

 

So can i drive the car for short distances, since the only thing that comes on is IMA light ?

At this time i am not worried about the new battery going bad too as i suspect i cant get any refund now.

 

If you experience no other adverse symptoms, probably.
