B012CDC/AC Converter A High Voltage Power Outlet Control Module "A"
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B012C names power outlet control module A of converter A without a fault type, so the module itself is under suspicion rather than one socket. Ford calls its unit DCACA; on the F-150 with the 2.0 kW system it sits in the cab under the left rear seat. Ford's SSM 50167 traced a loud fan on early 2021 builds to DCACA software, and SSM 52213 for 2022–2023 F-150 and 2023 Super Duty a dealer-service message with P0A93:96 stored in the DCACA; both were cured by reprogramming. Neither bulletin mentions B012C, and no manufacturer documents the code; it is open whether module A means the inverter itself or a separate outlet controller. Usually all outlets of the converter are unavailable.
