P0D60Hybrid/EV Battery Pack Cooling Fan 2 Sense Range/Performance
- 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
- P0D60 means the feedback of battery cooling fan 2 is electrically present but does not fit what the fan was told to do. Volkswagen documents it for the 2014 Touareg Hybrid: the battery controller reads the fan 2 feedback as a voltage and flags this code when it crosses a limit that moves with the commanded duty, somewhere between 1.37 and 3.43 V; fan 1 is judged the same way under P0BC8. Behind such a mismatch usually sits a fan that turns too slowly or too fast for its command, for example from a worn bearing, debris in the impeller or a blocked intake duct, less often a drifting feedback stage. The reading stays inside its valid window, which separates P0D60 from the hard faults P0D61 (low) and P0D62 (high). Battery temperatures may climb and the system can cut power to protect the pack.
- What you may notice
- Hybrid system warning or check engine light
- Fan noise that is louder, rougher or weaker than usual
- Battery temperature rises faster and electric power is limited
- Likely causes
- LikelyFan 2 runs off its commanded speed due to worn bearing or debris on the impeller
- PossibleClogged intake grille, filter or duct of the battery cooling air
- RareDrifting speed feedback stage in the fan electronics
- RareHigh resistance in the feedback or supply connection of fan 2
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €20 – €500
