P06B2Sensor Power Supply A Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- Despite the similar name, 'sensor power supply' is not the 5 V sensor reference (P0641 ff). It is documented in GM hybrid drive motor control modules: a 15 V supply that excites the motor position sensor (resolver) and powers the gate drivers of the inverter transistors, kept separate from the 5 V reference and the 12 V supply. In GM's 2008 Two-Mode hybrid, A and B are the two motor control modules. P06B2 means supply A is too high: GM's 2008 Two-Mode hybrid flags above 18.0 V for 1042 ms, a 2016 GM hybrid control module above 18.6 V in 40 of 50 samples, each after two trips. Typical causes are a faulty internal regulator or overvoltage in the 12 V system. Mitsubishi's 2022 Outlander lists it as a sub-code.
- What you may notice
- Check engine or hybrid warning light
- Electric drive or hybrid mode limited or disabled
- Further motor position or inverter codes
- Likely causes
- LikelyInternal supply regulator of the motor control module faulty
- PossibleOvervoltage in the 12 V system (DC/DC converter, charging)
- PossibleSupply wire shorted to a higher voltage
- RareConnector or wiring fault
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
