P0CF7Control Pilot Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- This code stands for a pilot signal that comes and goes or jumps between levels, typically from a loose contact in the charge inlet, a plug that is not fully latched or interference on the line. Ford documents P0CF7 on the 2021-2022 Mustang Mach-E and the 2022 e-Transit, logged by the SOBDM (secondary OBD module A), and on the 2022 F-150 Lightning by the same unit, there called BCCM, the charger control module. The bulletins link it to a charge status indicator flashing red, often alongside P0A7F from the battery controller; for the Mach-E an EVSE plug that is not properly secured is named as the trigger, and for both models the fix is new SOBDM/BCCM software. Steady opens, shorts and plausibility faults use P0CF3 to P0CF6. Charging stops now and then or is aborted.
