P0B58 is reserved for an erratic signal on cell sense channel F, and the honest state is short: no manufacturer documents this code publicly. The neighbouring codes are well covered; Ford and GM use the open circuit code P0B54, GM and Chrysler the range code P0B55, GM the fixed low and high limits. CARB demands monitoring of all battery voltage sensors of the storage system. An erratic test would catch sudden steps between successive samples that stay inside the low and high limits. Likely causes are a sense tap that loosens under vibration or a damaged section of the flexible circuit, and the symptoms typically come and go with road conditions and temperature.
