What are the common causes of P0BA0?

A U circuit voltage reading outside the expected window. A drifting U voltage tap. A high resistance joint in the U sense lead. A weak cell at the U tap. A calibration fault in the U sense channel.

Compare U circuit voltage to adjacent taps. Monitor U voltage across a drive cycle. Inspect the U sense lead for added resistance. Test the U cell tap under load. Replace the sense module if U stays out of range. Clear the code and retest.
