# Service bulletin PIP5267A

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have a Check Engine Lamp or Service Vehicle Soon lamp on after charging. If the technician finds Diagnostic Trouble Codes P16C4 or P16C5 set in history, the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module will need to be reprogrammed. If the Diagnostic Trouble Codes are current or return and the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module and the Battery Charger Control Module have the current calibrations then processed to follow published Service Information diagnostics. This may lead to Battery Charger Control Module replacement.
