What are the common causes of P0BAF?

An X circuit voltage reading outside the expected window. A drifting X voltage tap. A high resistance joint in the X sense lead. A cell at X reading high or low. A calibration fault in the X sense channel.

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