Clarity high voltage system error

I'm experiencing a peculiar issue with my 2013 Honda Clarity electric vehicle, which has about 123,767 km on it. I'm getting a high-voltage system error message. The error is stored, the engine shuts off unexpectedly, and engine power is noticeably reduced. Could this be a heavily discharged or defective battery?

Summary of the thread

A 2013 Honda Clarity electric vehicle is experiencing a high-voltage system error, causing the engine to shut off unexpectedly and reducing engine power. The issue may be related to a heavily discharged or defective battery, as indicated by a diminished range and random error occurrences. It is suggested to have the vehicle checked by a certified workshop specializing in electric vehicles to perform a comprehensive diagnostic test, as this can pinpoint the exact cause, such as a battery or inverter issue.

I encountered a similar problem with my Clarity. Error messages related to the high-voltage system can be tricky. Have you noticed any unusual battery drain recently, or any issues with the inverter? It might be worthwhile to check the voltage sensor readings if you have the means to do so. Was there anything specific that triggered the error?

I haven't observed any specific trigger for the error; it seems to occur randomly. Regarding the battery drain, it's difficult to quantify, but I have noticed that the range seems to have diminished slightly over the past few weeks. Where were you able to check the voltage sensor readings?

In my case, the random occurrences and reduced range were indicative of a battery issue. While checking the voltage sensor readings yourself might offer some clues, it's advisable to take it to a certified workshop specializing in electric vehicles. Based on my experience, they will be able to perform a comprehensive diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact cause, such as the battery's state of health or a potential inverter issue. It's not recommended to tinker with the high-voltage system.

I appreciate the advice. I will schedule an appointment with a certified workshop. The repair ended up costing 290€, but at least the issue is resolved. Thanks again for your assistance!
