C0585Brake Booster Motor B Phase U-V-W Circuit High

  • Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
C0585 stands for a phase of booster motor B reading too high, for instance a lead shorted to battery positive or an upper transistor stuck on. The number had another use on older GM-platform cars: on the 2011 Saab 9-5 it identified the left rear damper actuator of the adaptive suspension. In its booster meaning no manufacturer publishes it. The checks required mirror those for C0581 on side A – offline short-to-supply tests and drain-source voltage monitoring as in TI's DRV3245Q-Q1. Redundant drives then isolate the faulty side: Kollmorgen's early patent on redundant windings already shared the torque among the healthy winding sets, and in the Hyundai Mobis design the remaining power module takes over the whole current command.
