Repairing the Electric System
Once you have identified thee root cause, naphirs can range from simple part replacements to o complex module programming.

After replacement, thee vehicle 's BMS may need to re- learn the new batterie, which typically happes automatically over a few drivecycles. However, some owners report that repartine thee battery monitor stem using a scan tool caed up recoy.
Repairing or Replacing the HV Battery Pack
If thee BMS indicates a faifed cell module, thee entire HV battery pack mutt be removed andd reveced. This is a major jobs requiring g lifting thee vehicle, dicharging the e pack, and using insulated tools. The cost can message $6,000.
