⚠️ EV BATTERY PROBLEM?
IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BATTERY.
A Hyundai Ioniq Electric arrived at our workshop with a 12V battery that kept dying.
The strange part?
📉 No fault codes.
No warning messages.
No errors in any control module.
But the battery kept draining.
What we discovered
During diagnostics we measured the quiescent current draw and found that the vehicle was not entering sleep mode.
Some control modules remained active after shutdown, continuously drawing power from the 12V system.
Root cause
A corroded electrical wiring harness was disturbing communication between control modules on the vehicle network.
Because of this:
• the shutdown sequence never completed
• some modules stayed awake
• the vehicle slowly drained the 12V battery
And the system did not log any DTC faults.
Repair
🔧 Wiring harness repair
🔧 Electrical connection restoration
🔧 CAN network verification
🔧 Standby current test
After repair the vehicle properly enters sleep mode and the standby current returned to normal.
⚡ Important
In electric vehicles, 12V battery problems are often caused by electrical or communication issues, not the battery itself.
