To whom it may concern,
Regarding the P0A7F code and P1570 code, some codes try to confuse and produce a lot of expenses because a lot of parts are replaced that aren't the problem. The first thing that must be done is a battery voltage test to the 12V battery which is under the hood, that way knowing there isn't a correct charge, you won't have to replace the battery. If the person has technical knowledge , he can also check the output voltage of the DC-DC converter to the IMA battery so that he can know how much charge the IMA battery receives. If the voltage is not correct then steps can be taken to replace the part. I only suggest that you take big precautions because you will be working with a high voltage.
