P0E25Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor G 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
- P0E25 means the voltage of inverter temperature sensor G has fallen below its valid window. In the 2023 Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi assigns it to the U-phase H2 sensor of the front motor control unit and sets P0E25-00 once that signal does not rise above 1.25 V during 0.08 s with a unit supply of 8 V upward; the MIL is switched on together with the hybrid warning lamp. Mitsubishi states only the voltage. For an NTC element fed through a pull-up resistor, as GM describes for its inverter sensors, a low voltage equals a very hot sensor, so a ground short or a damaged sensing line looks like an overheated switch. Real overheating is reported by separate temperature codes. The opposite limit is P0E26; the sensor is not sold separately.
- What you may notice
- MIL and hybrid warning light on
- Motor power limited as if the inverter were overheating
- Likely causes
- LikelySensor signal shorted to ground inside the inverter
- PossibleThermistor internally shorted
- RareDamaged sensing board, e.g. after coolant ingress
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
