Technical Background
The contact surfaces of the HV contactors built into the battery junction box (BJB) can in rare cases oxidize if they
are not used for a very long time or if the air humidity is extremely high.
This oxidation concern can be rectified by the procedure mentioned in this TSB.
Production Solution
Not applicable.

For the DTCs specified above, GFF suggests replacing the switching unit for the high-voltage battery (Battery
Junction Box, SX6).
Do not proceed according to GFF; instead, perform the following steps in the specified sequence:
1.
Read out all measured value blocks relating to energy management from the gateway via GFF and make
them available in GFF paperless.
2.
Switch the ignition off and on again 5 to 10 times in a row (waiting for 5 seconds each time).
3.
Erase all DTCs.
4.
Perform a road test (EV mode with as many electrical consumers as possible switched on).
