P0AA8: Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Isolation Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
What to do
As P0AA7 — the monitor needs restoring, and cautious vehicle behaviour meanwhile is by design.
What this code means
The isolation measurement is electrically alive but implausible — drifting, stuck, or inconsistent with the system's state.
A drifted isolation reading has one consequence worth naming: it can understate real leakage, which is why plausibility is checked on this sensor at all. The response and diagnosis are P0AA7's.
Likely causes

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
