    Good, there our manuals agree. That's the step 16 test, where OK ► replace power management control ECU.

    Back in your post #13, you had only mentioned the NG result for step 7 (where NG ► do step 16).

    Now we're back on the same page.

    I see what you are saying about my post #13. Now that we are on the same page, I’m having a hard time understanding why the diagnostic process has left me dry. I have replaced the Power Management Control ECU and I am left with the same results, meaning there is something more involved that is not in agreement with the rest of the system.

    Today, I performed insulation resistance tests to ensure there was minimal leakage current in the system. All my results were exceptionally high, indicating excellent insulation with no electrical leakage at the hybrid battery.

    I think maybe I’ll go do a load test on all of my modules the way they sit right now and see what I come up with. I do not know.

    If you still have P0A0D, it just means there is something trickier going on with the dead-simple series interlock circuit that we didn't catch on the first pass.

    With the replacement power management control ECU in there, what is the step 7 test result now? That's the one that was NG, with the reading much lower than 10–14V, before you replaced the ECU.
