What are the common causes of P0B5A?

A sensor G that reads off from actual pack voltage. Corrosion in the voltage sense G connector. High resistance in the voltage sense G circuit. Loose sense G connections.

Compare sense G to actual pack voltage on a scan tool. Measure the sense G voltage against pack voltage. Check the sense G circuit for high resistance. Check the sense G connections. Replace the sense G sensor if it reads off spec. Clear the code and retest.
