Official summary
In the Service Manual for the CROSSTREK hybrid model, the diagnostic procedures for P1C06 and P1C07, which are DTCs for checking the relay, have no steps for specifically checking the relay. Therefore, if trouble occurs in the 12 V battery relay, the Hybrid Power Control Module (HPCM) ends up being replaced even though nothing may be wrong with it.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
