Do not drive

Quick answer

P101300 indicates that the vehicle controller commanded the high-voltage accessories to shut down but they did not confirm in time. The car shuts the high-voltage system down and will not allow it to be re-energised.

What to check first

  • Read all stored fault codes with a scan tool and deal with related codes first.
  • High-voltage system: do not open or disconnect high-voltage components. Refer the car to a technician qualified for high-voltage work.

Can I still drive?
