P0E1FHybrid/EV Battery Pack Coolant Pump A Control Circuit Driver Current/Temperature Too High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P0E1F reports that the output stage switching battery coolant pump A has hit its current or temperature limit. Ford uses the code on its 2020 hybrids. On the Escape HEV built up to 10 June 2020, bulletin 20-2221 lists P0E1F in the battery energy control module beside pump and battery codes and blames strategies in the BECM software, fixed by reprogramming PCM and BECM. Bulletins 20-2293 and 20-2345 name it for the Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility and Aviator hybrids, with the MIL on and a BECM update as the cure. If software is ruled out, the hardware logic applies: smart switches such as TI's automotive high-side parts shut off at their current limit or around 150 °C and report the event. A stiff pump, a short in the motor or a heat-soaked module remain. Pump B has the same code as P0E1E.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on

- PossiblePump A binding or seized and drawing excess current
- PossiblePartial short in the pump motor or harness
- RareOutput driver overheating in the module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
