The P1AD1 trouble code in your Kia Soul EV points you at the problems with the HV battery and its systems. The problems may or may not be serious, but just driving your vehicle further is a bad idea.
When it comes to E400 battery packs, there is a recall that you should look at. The recall has an updated software for the HV battery system and it reduces the potential fire risk. So, it’s important to check if your vehicle has already been through this recall.
So, just for safety, I recommend against driving with this code until you figure out with the help of a good scanner what’s going on with the car.
