Hi,
I took delivery of a Sportage PHEV in February and it’s been excellent, really liking it, but in the past month or so it’s had intermittent amber warning lights and message saying there’s a battery management system malfunction.
Took it to the dealership just over a week ago for a service and asked them to look at the fault. Told it was ready later that day and that they couldn’t see or replicate the fault, so cleared the fault codes and let me drive away.
A week later the amber light reappears, and once I’m at work it progresses to a red light and says to check the hybrid system. Called RAC, technician checked the fault codes and found a few (further below). None of that was mentioned at the dealership.
So I got it back to the dealer last Thursday and was told they’d be in touch. Heard nothing so called today, was told they’d speak to the technician and get back to me. No reply. Called again, and was told they hadn’t spoken to the tech and it’s likely it won’t be looked at for weeks, maybe longer. Appears it’s easy to get the service in a 10 day window but not a fault that was supposedly not there. Every other dealer I called the same.
Sadly seen a few other posts finding the same issue with dealerships and warranty issues.
As for the fault codes, has anyone encountered any of these and wethey a quick fix or fatal issue?
System Type: CENTRAL ELECTRONIC UNIT
Name: BODY CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSE - MT/AT DTC: 981000, unknown
DC: B181000, Ultrasonic Instruction Protection (UIP) Sensor Error
System Type: ENGINE
Name: EOBD
DTC: POACO, Hybrid battery pack current sensor A - circuit range/performance
DTC: P1E01,, Manufacturer controlled DTC
Thanks!
