B012ADC/AC Converter A High Voltage Power Outlet "D" Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B012A concerns outlet D. Sockets in a pickup bed live in a harsher place than those in the cab: dust, rain, washing and cords left plugged in. Ford's customer satisfaction program 21B52 shows how tightly bed outlets are tied into the vehicle: on certain 2021 F-150 Raptor trucks with Pro Power Onboard, a bed outlet cover standing open more than about 17 degrees kept the truck from shifting out of Park until the PCM was reprogrammed. In Ford's patent US11043801B2 the bed outlet carries several sockets, each with its own switch and protection, and a second outlet sits in the cab. Whether D is a bed socket is not published, and no manufacturer documents B012A. Moisture in the socket or its connector is a likely cause.
