Codes that show up on the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid
If a scanner has given you a code, start here. None of them is an instruction to buy a battery — each page says what the code means, what else causes it, and what a proper diagnosis checks.
- P1B70P1B70 is a manufacturer-specific code, and the manufacturers did not agree. On Hyundai and Kia hybrids it is a high-voltage battery imbalance code and appears in a Kia bulletin alongside P1B74 and P1B96 as a sensor circuit fault. On GM products it points at a specific cell circuit reading low. Reading a generic code list without checking which make it came from is how this one gets misdiagnosed, so the first question here is what you drive.
- P0BBDP0BBD reports that the difference in voltage between modules in the high-voltage pack has gone past what the system tolerates. It is GM's imbalance code on the two-mode trucks and SUVs. Imbalance is not the same thing as a dead pack: it can come from genuine module wear, but it can equally come from a loose or corroded connection making one module look far worse than it is. Both are common on vehicles of this age.
