What it means

P0BB5 means Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Sense Y Circuit Low.

Check these first

  • A Y circuit tap reading below the surrounding cell voltages
  • High resistance in the Y sense lead
  • A corroded pin in the Y circuit connector
  • A weak cell at the Y voltage tap
  • A sense module input fault on the Y channel

What to do next

  1. Read the Y circuit voltage on a scan tool
  2. Compare the Y tap reading to its neighbors
  3. Inspect the Y sense lead and connector for corrosion
  4. Measure resistance through the Y circuit
  5. Replace the sense module if the Y channel reads low
  6. Clear the code and retest
