P0AA6 on Chrysler
Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault
P0AA6 on Chrysler vehicles indicates hybrid battery voltage system isolation fault. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chrysler model — most commonly on Pacifica. P0AA6 is a hybrid/EV code meaning the battery management system detected an isolation (insulation) fault between the high-voltage battery system and the vehicle's chassis ground. For safety, the high-voltage system is normally electrically isolated from the metal body; this code sets when the measured insulation resistance drops too low, suggesting current could leak to the chassis. This is treated as a serious safety concern and often disables hybrid/EV operation or limits propulsion. The vehicle should be inspected by a qualified hybrid technician, as high-voltage components can pose a shock hazard.
Common Causes of P0AA6
- •Moisture or coolant intrusion inside the high-voltage battery pack
- •Damaged or chafed insulation on high-voltage cables
- •Corrosion or water in high-voltage connectors
- •Failed or leaking battery cell/module
- •Faulty inverter, converter, or A/C compressor (high-voltage components)
- •Damaged high-voltage wiring rubbing against the chassis
- •Failed battery isolation/monitoring sensor

Chrysler Pacifica(1 issue)
- Plug-In Hybrid Battery Fire Risk (PHEV)2017-2021
The high-voltage battery pack in Pacifica PHEV models can develop internal short circuits and spontaneously catch fire, even while parked and turned off. Stellantis recalled 24,000+ vehicles after 7+ fire incidents. A previous software fix was deemed not effective and a second recall was issued. Recall 72B / NHTSA 24V-482 provides free battery replacement.

What does P0AA6 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0AA6 stands for "Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault." P0AA6 is a hybrid/EV code meaning the battery management system detected an isolation (insulation) fault between the high-voltage battery system and the vehicle's chassis ground. For safety, the high-voltage system is normally electrically isolated from the metal body; this code sets when the measured insulation resistance drops too low, suggesting current could leak to the chassis. This is treated as a serious safety concern and often disables hybrid/EV operation or limits propulsion. The vehicle should be inspected by a qualified hybrid technician, as high-voltage components can pose a shock hazard. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
