B1676 FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY: BATTERY PACK VOLTAGE OUT OF RANGE
The B1676 OBD2 diagnostic code is a specific code from the fabricator. This code is activated when the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) notices abnormal battery voltage. When referring to battery packs such as those installed in hybrid and electric vehicles, it is important to say the code seems to be related to low battery voltages, but it refers to failures or malfunctions in the ABS Brake System.
One of the requirements for ABS is that it must be supplied with a constant current or voltage that is maintained within allowable ranges. It reduces the possibility that systems such as Traction Control, Cruise Control, Stability Control, and other related systems will not be adversely affected.
In a properly functioning system, the voltage from the battery to the ABS Control Module remains relatively constant. Some minor changes in the current supplied to the ABS are persistent. If the PCM detects that the ABS Control Module has received a voltage less than 9V or greater than 19V for more than 8 consecutive seconds, this code will set.
