What are the common causes of P0BAA?

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

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