Common Symptoms
- The battery saver/power management system is not operating as designed
- Warning light or malfunction indicator related to the battery saver/power management system is illuminated
- Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored in module memory
- Fault may be intermittent — code may clear itself and reappear
- Reduced vehicle functionality related to the battery saver/power management system
Possible Causes
- Faulty battery saver relay — most common cause, test before replacing
- Damaged or corroded wiring/connector in the battery saver/power management system circuit
- Blown fuse or faulty relay for the battery saver/power management system
- Poor ground connection — check and clean all related ground points
- Control module fault — rare but possible, only consider after ruling out simpler causes
Common Fixes
- Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($34-146 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
- Visually inspect the battery saver/power management system wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $123 diagnostic fee at shop)
- Replace battery saver relay if testing confirms it has failed — use OEM quality, avoid the cheapest no-name aftermarket parts that fail in a year ($30-300)
- Check and replace any blown fuses in the battery saver/power management system fuse circuit — if fuse blows again, there's still a short that needs to be found ($2-20 for fuses)
- Perform a wiggle test on the battery saver/power management system wiring harness while monitoring live data — see if the fault returns when you move the harness at different points ($0-136 diagnostic labor)
