P104600 — Battery management fault relayed
Quick answer
P104600 indicates that the vehicle controller is reporting a serious fault passed on from the battery management system, so the high-voltage system is shut down or limited.
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?
Have it inspected before further driving. If in doubt, park the car and ask a technician — a fault that limits power or shuts the high-voltage system down will not clear by itself.
