Risk level

High

Professional inspection is recommended.

Urgency

Immediate

Quick answer

The temperature of your control unit is too high. This may mean that no motor support is available to you, and your eBike switches off. For 152001, Bosch's user step is: Let your eBike cool down for 15 minutes in a cooler environment. Avoid direct sunlight here. Then restart your eBike. If the problem persists, please contact your specialist dealer. If the same code returns, preserve the display and stop repeating resets.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Stop riding or charging while a battery, drive unit, cable or connector is abnormally hot. Keep it away from combustible material; smoke, swelling, hissing or burning smell requires emergency help.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the code before changing anything
  • Apply only Bosch's published user step
  • Use recurrence as the stop point

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured handoff for 152001

What a technician must be able to justify

A technician is coming

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured handoff for 152001

    What they doUse the saved timing, system generation and Bosch diagnostics to test Control unit in the state that produced 152001; verify software, connectors and component values before replacement.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Checks and evidence, step by step

Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. 1

    Preserve the code before changing anything

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Photograph 152001. Record the eBike model, Bosch system generation if known, battery level, Control unit, what stopped working and when the code appeared.

    Stop riding or charging while a battery, drive unit, cable or connector is abnormally hot. Keep it away from combustible material; smoke, swelling, hissing or burning smell requires emergency help.

  2. 2

    Apply only Bosch's published user step

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Let your eBike cool down for 15 minutes in a cooler environment. Avoid direct sunlight here. Then restart your eBike. If the problem persists, please contact your specialist dealer. Record whether the condition “The temperature of your control unit is too high.” disappears and whether 152001 reappears after the exact published step. Do not add an undocumented reset or open a component.

    Stop riding or charging while a battery, drive unit, cable or connector is abnormally hot. Keep it away from combustible material; smoke, swelling, hissing or burning smell requires emergency help.

  3. 3

    Use recurrence as the stop point

    No special tools

    Procedure

    If 152001 remains absent, monitor the same function; that does not prove a repair. If “The temperature of your control unit is too high.” or 152001 returns, stop the user checks and book a Bosch eBike specialist.

    Stop riding or charging while a battery, drive unit, cable or connector is abnormally hot. Keep it away from combustible material; smoke, swelling, hissing or burning smell requires emergency help.

  • What the official step decidesPossible

    If “The temperature of your control unit is too high.” clears after Bosch's exact step, only the current condition has cleared; no failed part has been proved. If 152001 returns, the documented user branch is exhausted and the recurrence becomes the evidence for service.
