DTC P33DA-1E: Hybrid/EV Battery Stack 1 Circuit Resistance Out of Range; DTC P33DB-1E: Hybrid/EV Battery Stack 2 Circuit Resistance Out of Range [11/2021 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The HV battery is composed of 70 cells (3.7 V each) in series. The battery ECU assembly monitors the internal resistance of each HV battery cell to detect malfunctions of the HV battery.

HINT:

These DTCs can be stored after clearing DTCs and driving the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes.
In order to ensure HV battery performance, appropriate cooling performance must be maintained. Perform the following items as necessary. If cooling performance has decreased and "Maintenance Required for Traction Battery Cooling Parts See Owner's Manual" is displayed on the multi-information display, make sure to perform the following items:
- Make sure the air intake port for HV battery is not blocked.
- Make sure there are no gaps between the connecting parts of the ducts.
- Clean the No. 1 HV battery intake filter.
  1. Clear the DTCs to reset the learning values even if no DTCs are stored.
