P0BEADrive Motor A Phase V Current Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P0BEA is the performance check of the phase V current sensor in the motor A inverter. GM implements it as an offset test: with no current flowing at start-up, the learned zero point must stay within 30 A (2011 Volt, 2016 tables, Type A; 2012 two-mode trucks, Type B, with P0BEB/P0BEC not active) or 35 A (2019 table, Type A, after a 0.4 s delay). A sensor whose zero has drifted would distort torque control and the phase current balance. Jeep names P0BEA among the phase current codes of the 2020 Renegade and Compass 1.3 PHEV for EMEA markets, together with the turtle and Service 4WD lights; the remedy is a software update of the hybrid control processor and power inverter.
- What you may notice
- Malfunction indicator lamp
- Turtle (limp home) light and Service 4WD light (Jeep)
- Reduced electric drive power
- Likely causes
- LikelyHybrid control processor software (Jeep bulletin 08-056-21/08-057-21)
- PossibleZero offset of the phase V current sensor drifted beyond the limit
- PossibleFaulty sensing electronics in the power inverter module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
