    My check engine and red triangle light came on. I checked the code and it's a battery issue.
    The code is P0A7F (Hybrid Battery Pack Deterioration)
    Open the HV Battery bus bars had erosion clean them, battery had dust clean that, clean the FAN and all parts.
    check the battery Cells looks okay, all had good voltage 3 were between 7.73 and 7.8
    rest all were above 7.8.
    Fit the battery back and P0A7F comes back in 20 miles.

    some time car engine stays on constantly and Hybrid system behave strange no charging shown on dash and battery bars go up and down.
    Some time works fine battery charge, engine goes off and stays off for long

    my feeling is HV battery ECU
    Temp sensors values are quit high compare to cold weather outside 10 Degree Celsius.
    it shown above 30 at that time.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? what will be the solution.
