P0C95Hybrid/EV Battery Temperature Sensor K 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
- P0C95 is set when sensor K delivers a voltage above its valid range. In the usual NTC layout a broken circuit allows the bias resistor to drive the input high, so the controller sees an impossibly cold module. In 19OBDG02 (GM, 2019) a reading colder than −69 °C in 8 out of 10 checks counts as failed, Type B; the 2012 Volt table accepts readings only down to −40 °C, equal to an ADC count of 4,000. Mitsubishi names it an open of sensor [10] on the 2018 Outlander PHEV, above 3.97 V for 2 s. Look for a pushed-out terminal, a broken wire or an unplugged connector before replacing parts. Drivers may see reduced electric power or a warning that the battery is too cold. P0C94 is the matching short-circuit code.
- What you may notice
- Battery-too-cold or plug-in-to-warm message in mild weather
- Electric power reduced or unavailable
- Likely causes
- LikelyOpen circuit or disconnected plug at sensor K
- PossibleThermistor K open internally
- RareSensor lead damaged during earlier work on the pack
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
