DTC P0A7E (72): Battery Module Overheating: General Description
The high voltage battery for the IMA (integrated motor assist) system temperature can increase from exposure to high ambient temperature, overcharging, excessive battery drain, or a battery short. If the battery temperature increases beyond a set value, it is difficult to use the battery continuously due to the thermal deformation of the electrical insulating material or the deterioration of the pole plates.
If the battery temperature is out of a set value for a specified time when driving, a malfunction in the battery is detected and a DTC is stored.
