P0E02Generator Phase U Current Sensor 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
- P0E02 is stored when the output of the generator inverter's phase U current sensor falls to the bottom of its range, a level no real current would produce. Mitsubishi uses it on the Outlander PHEV: from model year 2023 the generator control unit, supplied with at least 8 V, sets P0E02-00 once the U-phase signal drops to 0.5 V or lower and stays there for 0.2 s; unlike the zero-point test, no standstill is needed. The 2018 code chart describes the same code as a ground short or a broken line at current sensor 1. Because the sensor is built into the power drive unit, Mitsubishi's procedure ends with replacing that unit after a confirming drive cycle. The offset check is P0E01, the opposite fault P0E03. Without a valid U-phase value the generator usually runs only in a limited way.
- What you may notice
- MIL and hybrid system warning light on
- Generator power limited or generator not used
- Battery charge falls faster in hybrid operation
- Likely causes
- LikelySensor signal shorted to ground or sensor output failed low
- PossibleOpen signal or supply connection of the sensor inside the power drive unit
- RareInput stage of the generator control unit faulty
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
