C058FRegeneration Torque Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- C058F covers the case where regenerative braking does not deliver the torque the brake system has planned with. In a blended brake the brake module asks the electric drive for generator torque, usually the smaller of the available capacity and the driver's demand, estimates what actually arrives and adds friction braking for the rest, as a GM/BMW/Daimler/Chrysler patent explains. Ford Otosan describes inferring the regenerative share from vehicle deceleration and switching to friction braking at once when regeneration is unavailable, for example with a full or hot battery. Ford notes that its ABS module may cap regenerative torque and that on plug-in hybrids lost regeneration shortens electric range. No manufacturer documents C058F publicly; expect reduced recuperation.
- What you may notice
- Regenerative braking reduced or disabled, friction brakes do more work
- Uneven deceleration or changed pedal feel during light braking
- Shorter electric range on plug-in hybrids and EVs
- Brake or hybrid system warning message
- Likely causes
- PossibleElectric drive or inverter delivering less generator torque than requested
- PossibleTraction battery unable to absorb charge (full, hot or cold)
- PossibleTorque arbitration or estimation software in the brake or hybrid module
- RareMissing or delayed torque messages between brake and drive modules
- Repair
- Hard · Usually a job for a workshop.Typical cost: €100 – €1,500
