26 refers you to 36. Step 38 is "substitute a known good BCM." and then a "known good MCM" in step 42.

I'm going back to the P1515, which doesn't appear in the manual. I wonder if a bad BCM or MCM could throw that codes. It may be time to try a new BCM. Ebay, salvage yard or maybe check with Bumblebee batteries in Portland. They may have some spares.

Correct me if I"m wrong, but this here is a bad fuse and may be the source of my troubles.

You sir are a diagnostic machine. Now comes the time to discover if the fuse is the problem or something is making it blow...

And we have a winner! Bad high voltage fuse within the battery. Odd that it was intermittent. The cold mornings where it worked must have been because of contraction in the gap, then as the battery warmed up it would break again. Hopefully a one time thing and not due to another issue.

Very glad to hear it. The intermittent nature kept me from considering the fuse. All in all, I think you came out ahead!

I can't remember exactly where it is on the junction board, but if you look at the picture above where he's testing the fuse, you can find it on the junction board on the battery.

Hi,

I couldn't find a photo of mine, but the fuse is the 100 amp fuse labeled as #1 in the attached part photo. You need to take the "lid" off the hybrid battery to access it. It is on the underside of the board.
