As I read elsewhere, P1449 has 4 subcodes that offer more specific info. You can take a paper clip and jump two pins on the OBDII connector, turn ignition on, and the dash board trouble lights will blink out sub codes - long blinks for the tens digit, short, quick blinks for the ones digit. Longer pause between each unique code that's stored... I think these are OBDI conventions or system features. Hard to describe which pins. I'll see if I can find a link to where I got this info, which has a pict. It's Mike Dabrowski's website, I believe...

The P1449 subcodes are 72, 73, 74, and 78.
72 - battery module overheating
73 - battery cell overheating
74 - battery module individual voltage input deviation
78 - battery module deterioration
