On Sunday, 2/15/26 while backing out of my garage into the driveway, I heard a "pop" sound from the rear and the vehicle stopped and shut down with multiple warning/alerts on the dash. The error code reported was DTC P1A9096 which is indicative of an ICCU (Integrated Charging and Control Unit) failure as widely reported here and online by other owners. Vehicle was towed to the dealer and is currently awaiting diagnosis.
At a routine service visit to AutoNation Hyundai/Carlsbad, I received a good report on the 2025 Ioniq 5 condition. Starting the car to drive home I heard a pop sound and noted a diagnostic code that confirmed the ICCU and associated fuse had blown. Since then, Hyundai has been unable to clarify the ETA of the back ordered parts. They provided a loaner but itâs not an EV.
The vehicle experienced a sudden failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). While driving, a loud "pop" was heard, followed immediately by a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning on the dashboard. The vehicle then entered "Limp Mode" with significantly reduced propulsion. The 12V battery became depleted, leading to a complete loss of motive power and loss of electronic safety systems, creating a hazardous situation in traffic.
Main battery failure, can not charge, can not drive car. Warning light(s) on dashboard. High voltage battery needs to be replaced.

The 12V system battery failed to keep a charge and the vehicle slowly reduced maximum speed until it fully died causing the car to coast to a stop on a 55MPH highway.

A LOT of IONIQ 5 owners are encountering the ICCU failure.
