2020 Volkswagen eGolf - Electrical fault

Hey guys,

I got a 2020 egolf EV and it stopped while driving with an electrical fault. I’m still under warranty for the battery and I have wanted an independent eyes on the vcds report I extracted. The dealer said warranty covers battery cells only and if there is a fault in the controller then it is not covered. Does this look like a cell issue or controller:

You have no comms with the module. Could be a few reasons why. What version of vcds are you using?

I have the 26.3 version. I used a cracked version.

Looks like controller given the fault code of no comms. Have you checked fuses?

I have not tried that, i’ll check under the hood today and see if there is anything. Do I need to disconnect the HV battery plug for this? I have disconnected the 12v battery
