What Does P0B41 Mean?
The battery management system has detected a range or performance issue with the hybrid battery voltage sense "B" circuit. Readings are within electrical limits but do not match expected values, suggesting inaccurate measurements from high-resistance connections or partially degraded sensing components.
Common Causes
35%
High-resistance connection in the voltage sense B circuit causing measurement error
25%
Partially damaged sense wire with increased resistance
25%
BMS voltage sense calibration drift on circuit B channel
15%
Cell group voltage genuinely out of expected range due to degradation
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Compare BMS-reported voltage for sense B against adjacent circuits to identify consistent offset.
2
Step 2: Measure actual cell group voltage with HV-rated DVOM and compare to BMS reading. Deviation over 0.2V indicates sense circuit issue.
3
Step 3: Measure sense wire resistance end-to-end. Both conductors should be under 2 ohms.
4
Step 4: Clean and re-seat all connectors in the sense B circuit and re-test.
5
Step 5: If readings remain off with good wiring, the BMS input channel may need replacement.
Estimated Repair Cost
$100 - $1,500

The most common cause of P0B41 (Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense "B" Circuit Range/Performance) is: High-resistance connection in the voltage sense B circuit causing measurement error
Typical repair costs for P0B41 range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Limit driving. Inaccurate voltage monitoring reduces the BMS's ability to detect developing cell problems.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P0B41 to identify the root cause.
