P0C0FDrive Motor B Inverter Power Supply Circuit Low

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
P0C0F means the supply of the motor B inverter is present but below its permitted range. P0C0E covers a lost or open supply, P0C10 a supply that is too high, and P0C0C is the same fault on motor A. No manufacturer documents P0C0F publicly. GM's tables for P0C0E name the supply in question: the power feed of the gate-drive board, checked phase by phase with run/crank voltage between 9.5 and 18 V on the 2012 trucks. A sagging rail can no longer switch the power transistors fully, so the inverter protects itself. CARB requires circuit monitoring of hybrid components. The driver typically sees a warning and loses the electric drive of motor B.
What you may notice
  • Malfunction indicator lamp, hybrid system warning
  • Reduced propulsion, motor B unavailable
  • Fault appears mainly with low 12 V voltage, e.g. after standing
Likely causes
  • LikelyWeak 12 V battery or DC/DC converter output feeding the inverter electronics
  • PossibleCorroded connector or poor ground raising resistance in the inverter supply
  • PossibleFailing internal gate-drive power supply in the motor B inverter
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
