    Which codes (DTCs) did you discover when you "scanned with Tech stream to check for pending" ?

    Here is the workup for DTC P0A0F with INF 204, 205, 533 and 534)

    These are the codes I found, I did not notice a pending just active. What does the snowflake icon mean in techstream?

    p0a0d
    p0a0f
    p3190
    b2795
    b1271

    Thank you for the workup

    The snowflake is the icon for "freeze frame" data. That is a snapshot of operating conditions when the code set. It might also contain an "inf" code- or information subcode that can give a more detailed description of the fault.

    It's interesting that you got a P0A0D while sitting in the driver seat. That means the car thought a HV Safety Interlock triggered. That should have a subcode 351 if it happened while the car was running, a 350 subcode if the car was stopped.

    The 2 safety interlocks are the safety switch on the HV battery, and a shorting plug inside the inverter that connects two contacts when the cover is in place. The other option is there was some electrical transient in that circuit that made the car think that happened.

    Funny this is an issue I drove about 2500 miles since I cleaned the Hybrid fan, the Orange tab was not making the contact properly a few months ago I had to fiddle with it, could that have just been a stored code?
