I had the same thing and tried clearing it with a cheap wifi obd2 scanner with no dice. Brought it to the dealer and they "reprogrammed" it as you mentioned. I now own a good obd2 diagnostic tablet that was able to go through every module in my volt. Needless to say, it will not be going back to the dealer if the issue returns. Good video and demonstration.

Hi Colin I have a 2011 Volt with the same issue, what year is yours? Some of the newer volts are reportedly easier to clear the Service high voltage sys error than 2011 an 2012 models. I will buy the itopdon artidiag 800bt if it will do it, the dealer charged me a fortune last time, told me they had to change the inverter, I know mine just needs a reset.

@@mvpmachine I have a 2013 volt so it's still a first gen volt. I'm not 100% on if it will clear the code, however, it is able to read from every single module and clear from every single module in the car so I'm almost certain that it wouldn't have a problem clearing it. If it doesn't you can always return it. Make sure your coolant is actually not low and you should be fine.

I had "Service High Voltage Charging System" on my 2013 Chevy Volt a few days ago. I noticed that the car did not charge when I plug-in. I cleared up the code using regular obd2 scanner but the code came up again when I started the car. So I cleared up the code again, but this time I did not restart the car, instead I plugged-in the car right the way. It worked. The charge light indicator was on and I let it charged. I started the car after an hour of charging and the code was no longer shown on the screen.

Update: after topping up the 50/50 Dexcool mixture (it was a bit below the coolant tank seam after many years of evaporation), I used my "get it done" OBD II scanner (Ancel AD410 from Amazon) to clear the diagnostic code while the Volt was running. The code cleared immediately, as did the dash message about the High Voltage system. I turned off the ignition and plugged in my Level 2 charger. The Volt is back to its normal charging self. Back in business!

I also have the TDS SPS subscription and had updated all my modules without issue. There was 1 code pointing to the sensor on that reservoir so I replaced it with a OEM one. I now have a permanent code. I haven't driven the car and was wondering if I need to in order to rid the code, P1FFD, I believe. I did try and clear codes but it won't as it's a permanent code. Or do I need to run some diag in SPS or GDS? I did also replace my heater pump near the right front wheel well area to try and get my heater back to working. Any suggestions would be awesome.

another trick i got from onstar operator - basically she says try walking with the keyfob at least 100 feet away from vehicle for 10 mins - then come back and start the vehicle - the warning will go away too - so you can drive your vehicle again - but she also added that you still need to check in with dealer later on - as this trick only let you drive your car for a few hours until the warning pops up again - surely you can repeat the 'walk away and wait up' trick as many times - but dealer should be able to decipher the issue at a better rate -

Thanks for the video which I'll be referencing while starting the reprogramming journey on my HPCM2 today. Just curious how long this fix lasted until you had to do the full reprogramming. I did find a pretty comprehensive video (without sound) that covers all the pieces and how to install them on Windows 10, if anyone is interested. I set up VMWare Workstation Pro (free) plus Windows 10 (to assure everything is isolated from my system) and yes there are a lot of perceived threats via Windows Defender, rather real or imagined which I chose not to leave to chance.

My 2013 Opel Ampera just started having the Service High Voltage Charging System error. A cheap ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter and the Torque app for Android was able to clear the codes, as long as the car is powered on. The cleared codes are p1f0e, p0aa6, p1fff and b2aaa. Torque gives no explanation for the errors, but some googling and a gmvolt forum post put me on the track that led me to this video. The error comes back about 1-2 times per week and can not be cleared immediately after it arises, so I usually leave the car in the garage over night before clearing the code and charging works again. It's OK with the crazy European electricity prices and cold mornings these days, but I wonder if the shop will be able to permanently fix this by following the service bulletin. It said something about pulling a drain plug to look for a leak, but I didn't want to start stripping off the shielding underneath the battery.

The anti-tamper bracket is there to prevent vehicle owners from topping up a leaking battery cooling system. In the event of an internal drive battery leak, coolant can cause a short, which can lead to the car burning down. It's not just an annoyance or to make owners go to dealers to get air out of the system. It's a major safety concern. Go ahead and top up your system, but if it needs attention more than once, go get it checked. I love Volts. I don't like hearing about fires.

Sorry for just seeing this and replying to it. VCX Nano is such a pain. I’m hoping you got it resolved by now but if not or someone else reading this… You’ll need to run a stand-alone version downloaded from the vcx website. I need to make a video of how to install this all and get it working, but it’s such a pain I swear sometimes I don’t even know what I did to make it work. The version of GDS2 that works will trigger a virus warning so you’ll need to shut down any and all virus programs. And be ok with a virus.

Yeah. Setting up GDS2 can be a pain, and it’s full of viruses. And once TLC is installed GDS2 won’t even work (unless VX DIAG releases an update). Basically I would count on buying that subscription. Im hoping to make video soon about how to set it all up.

I own 2014 Volt started driving with 41 electric miles, when it changed from battery to gas the check engine light came on, turned off the engine and tried to restart with no luck, towed to the nearest dealership they performed a diagnostic (charged $200 Dollars). I was told that the entire battery pack needs to be replaced at a cost of $16,000 Dollars. Does anyone knows of better solution? The vehicle has less than 88K miles driven most on battery power.

Oof. My older 2012 has been doing similar. Seems to be an issue with battery temp. I usually just pull over, shut it off, open the door and restart it. Works fine for a while. But that’s typically a ‘12 issue.

I had had a similar issue happen to me last year during summer. I was driving fine, had about 1-2 electric miles left, parked at a store, left store and as I was pulling out the parking lot, car just stopped accelerating and slowed down to a stop. I assume it went to gas and then that's when it happened (similar to you going from electric to gas). I know my 12v battery was still good because all the dash lights and radio were on. Plus I replaced it a couple months before. I tried starting the car several times but it wouldn't start. Only dash lights and radio. Had someone come help try to jump start it but still nothing. I eventually got it towed to the dealership. A couple weeks later they call me and say that my 12v was dead. I told them that's not the reason why I originally brought it in. I told him that if it's dead now it's because there's a live wire somewhere that drained the 12v and they just left it sitting for 2 weeks, but that's not why it died on my 2 weeks ago. They argued blah blah blah, said that it was going to be 360 dollars for battery and labor. I begrudgingly accepted. A couple hours later they call back and tell me they have really bad news, that after replacing the 12v, it still won't start and that the high voltage battery would need to be replaced for 21,000 dollars. I told them get bent, that cost more than what I paid for the care, and that I want a refund for the other shit the were going to charge me. They said they'll refund me the labor but can't refund me the battery. Anyway, I picked it up and took it home a few days later. After letting it sit for a couple weeks, I came across an article on on gm-volt[.]com with someone with a similar scenario and they just tried jump starting it after letting it sit dead for a few weeks and it started. So I tried it, and guess what, it worked! I have no idea how. If you still have this issue (2 months later of your original post), try jump starting it again (from the engine bay of course).

So, you said you had to replace all that yourself so… does it take a special kind of coolant/fluid? It seems the anti-tamper bracket would also prevent you from topping up.
@utjay2008
@utjay2008 2 жыл бұрын
Yes it uses premix dexcool only. (Or a 50/50 blend of dexcool and deionized water.) The system should never require topping up unless something springs a leak. But that anti-tamper bracket is an absolute joke.

It’s pretty quiet in real life. Probably just an effect of the microphone and open hood. It’s actually a tad quieter than my other volts gas engine.
