Went to start my car and wouldn't start. Bunch of clicking underthe hood. Tried again and it almost turned over. Thought battery was bad so put jump pack on for a bit and then it started. CEL was lit with a P068A code. I googled the code but I'm no mechanic so I have no idea what it meant. Any help appreciated

Sounds like simply a bad ground at the battery terminal to me. Your jump pack just bypassed the battery is all.

That BMS is a PITA - HA! Sound like it - with such a hot summer - I bet many folks batteries have issues. Even if they are just a couple years old, welcome to the South. Your car battery is dying and the BCM needs a reset.

B2 CHECK THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM


- Check the battery and charging system voltages. Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 414-00, Charging System, Inspection and Verification.
Are the battery and charging system voltages within specification? Possibly 13.5V+ or hopefully/preferably 14V+
Yes


- GO to B3
