P0DF2Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor C Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P0DF2 covers an electrical fault on temperature sensor C of the generator inverter that the controller cannot assign to a more specific low, high or intermittent code. Which power switch carries sensor C is up to the manufacturer; in Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV the third high-side IGBT sensor sits on the W phase, and its faults are logged only as P0DF7 to P0DF9. No manufacturer documents P0DF2 itself. CARB demands circuit monitoring for inputs of inverter thermal management. As these thermistors are usually built into the IGBT module, a confirmed sensor fault often means replacing the inverter or the complete power unit, so the harness and connector deserve a careful check first. The general circuit code for sensor B is P0DF0.
- What you may notice
- Hybrid or engine warning light on
- Generator power reduced as a precaution
- Higher engine use or weaker battery recharge
- Likely causes
- PossibleThermistor inside the IGBT module defective
- PossibleConnector or signal line fault between module and controller
- RareFaulty input stage in the generator control unit
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
