Astra High Voltage System Error

I'm getting a high-voltage system error on my 2023 Vauxhall Astra electric with about 64000 km. The error is stored, and the engine sometimes shuts off with reduced power. Could it be a discharged or defective battery?

I own an Astra, and those symptoms do sound familiar. Has it been sitting unused, or have you noticed any unusual electrical drains recently? A heavily discharged battery can trigger those errors, or it could be wiring.

Thanks, the car is used regularly. I haven't checked for unusual battery drain though. What kind of electrical wiring issues might cause that?

Defective insulation of the high-voltage components could be the reason. Without proper diagnostic tools, it's hard to tell. I recommend a workshop visit, as the battery is likely discharged or defective.

Understood, thanks. I've had it inspected at a certified workshop. It was a wiring insulation fault which damaged the battery. The repair cost was 290€
