I think you are describing the pack of the 1st generation Volt PHEV. I've been told the Bolt EV pack basically shares the same cell monitoring/balancing circuit board design as the 2nd generation Volt. I'm not sure about the 2nd generation Volt pack's circuit board(s) physical location.
Here's a cut-away model photo of the Bolt's board:

On the first generation Volt, some of the circuit boards can be individually replaced without swapping the whole pack or even an entire module. I know this because one of my monitoring/balancing boards was automatically self-diagnosed as failing and had to be replaced after the car's 4th year with just over 100,000 miles. As far as I know, this is a rare failure mode on the 1st gen Volt and not a common problem.
The new board was ~$250 but it required the dealer mechanic to drop the whole pack from the car and open the cover to replace it so most of the cost was labor.
Here is the part, shown in green, in a diagram showing how it attaches to a frame running along the top of its battery module. There are four modules and thus four cell monitoring/balancing circuit boards in the overall Volt pack:
