Common causes of battery management system failure include cell imbalance, overcharging and undercharging, temperature-related issues, and communication errors. Cell imbalance is a common issue that can arise due to differences in the individual cells' capacities or charge. Full background below, but in troubleshooting, found that two of the pins at the IVM / integrated power supply module are without 12v. The pins are pins 5 and 6, and these go over to the DME to feed it power (pics coming in a minute). So it looks to me like either the relay in the IVM is bad, or. Power supplies are the unsung heroes of electronic devices, supplying the crucial energy needed to sustain operations. Yet, like any component, they are not immune to failure.
