Jaguar Voltage Wrong

Team 1787 is experiencing an unusual issue from one of our Black Jaguar motor controllers from last year. We can connect the Jaguar with CAN and have installed the new firmware (version 101). When we tried to run the motor through the computer software, we discovered that the voltage was 12V too high. Thus when we tried to have the motor stop (set it to 0V), 12V would be output instead. Negative voltages decrease the voltage while positive voltages leave it unchanged. The computer software nonetheless reports that the voltage is as it should be. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
