BYD error EC203 to EC803: one battery module not detected. How do I find the bad one?

The short answer
The first digit shows the module position; check its connections and use the module exclusion method.

Plain explanation

From the BYD manual for the Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM: Read the code: first digit shows the module position. Installer checks that module's connections. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Read the code: first digit shows the module position
  2. Installer checks that module's connections
  3. Use the module exclusion method to find the faulty module
  4. Service if confirmed
