P0E05Generator Phase V Current Sensor Circuit 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
P0E05 reports an implausible zero point of the current sensor in phase V of the generator inverter. Mitsubishi describes it only for the 2023 Outlander PHEV, the first of its generator units with a sensor in phase V; the earlier model measured just U and W. The test mirrors that of the other phases and runs at rest: IGBTs off, generator below 20 rpm, control unit fed with at least 8 V. If the V-phase signal then sits outside 2.3 to 2.7 V for 0.32 s, P0E05-00 is logged and the MIL turns on. As no current can flow in this state, any deviation points to the sensor itself. A zero error left in place would also disturb the three-phase sum check P0DFA, so both codes may appear together. Open or shorted signals of this sensor are P0E06 and P0E07.
What you may notice
  • MIL and hybrid system warning light on
  • Possibly also the phase sum code P0DFA stored
  • Less generator support during hybrid driving
Likely causes
  • LikelyZero point of the phase V current sensor drifted
  • PossibleDisturbed sensor supply or reference in the power drive unit
  • RareGenerator control unit evaluation faulty
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
