P0E26Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor G Circuit 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
- P0E26 is logged when the signal of inverter temperature sensor G climbs above its permitted range. In the 2023 Outlander PHEV it belongs to the front motor unit's U-phase H2 sensor: at least 3.75 V lasting 0.08 s, with at least 8 V supply to the unit, sets P0E26-00 together with MIL and hybrid warning light. With an NTC element and pull-up resistor, the layout GM documents for its inverter thermistors, such a voltage would mean an extremely cold power switch, which a working inverter never shows; the usual reasons are an open sensing line, a lost reference ground or a broken thermistor. The low-side fault is P0E25. Because the sensor is built into the unit, Mitsubishi replaces the power drive unit.
