The verified TSB summaries describe a condition involving P0CF7 and a blinking red CSI; P0A7F may also be stored in the battery energy control module (BECM). The supplied evidence states that this may be due to an unsecured plug-in electric vehicle supply equipment connection.

3. What system is affected?

Secondary on-board diagnostic control module A (SOBDM). The supplied evidence also references the Charge Status Indicator (CSI), battery energy control module (BECM), and on-board diagnostic control module C (SOBDMC).

4. How serious is this code?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • The Charge Status Indicator (CSI) may blink red.
  • DTC P0CF7 may be stored in the SOBDM.
  • DTC P0A7F may also be stored in the BECM.
