XC90 High Voltage System Error

Experiencing a high-voltage system error with my 2021 Volvo XC90 hybrid, about 112,224 km. Engine sometimes shuts off, and I've noticed reduced engine power. The error is stored. I've checked connections, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas?

That sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my 2019 BMW 530e. It turned out to be a battery drain issue that was triggering all sorts of weird errors. Did you notice any unusual electrical behavior before the errors started?

Interesting. No, I haven't observed any unusual electrical behavior specifically. What was the resolution for your BMW? Did it involve the high-voltage battery pack itself, or something else?

In my case, it was a faulty voltage sensor causing a false reading, which led to the system shutting down as a safety measure. The dealer replaced the sensor, and it solved the problem. Given your Volvo is showing similar signs, I'd suggest getting it checked out by a qualified technician. It could be a battery issue, an inverter problem, or even just a sensor malfunction. Better safe than sorry with high-voltage systems.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right – the high-voltage battery was heavily discharged and defective. Replacing it and performing some associated work cost me 290€, but it fixed the issue. I appreciate the pointer!
