✅Safe to drive — this is an informational or minor issue. Schedule diagnosis at your convenience.

Typical repair cost: $30 – $300

Severity Level 1 — Low

This code indicates a minor issue that is unlikely to cause immediate driveability problems. You can typically continue driving but should have the vehicle inspected at your earliest convenience.

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 ($22-95 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, $134 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 ($3-19 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 ($0-126 diagnostic labor)

Estimated Repair Cost

$30 – $300(typical range; varies by vehicle make and model)

These are estimated costs based on generic repair data. Actual costs may vary depending on your vehicle, location, and labor rates.
