P0E69Control Pilot Indicator Control Circuit Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P0E69 belongs to the output that drives the small lamp or LED showing the state of the pilot connection to the charging station. Range/Performance means the driver circuit reports a state that does not fit what the module commanded, without a clear short or open. No manufacturer documents P0E69 publicly. GM's Volt tables for 2011 and 2012 show how such a driver is watched, under the older code P0D2B: one sample every 100 ms, a ground short counted while the LED is commanded on with the cord plugged in (12 of 15 samples), a short to battery or an open while it is off and unplugged (40 of 50), Type B. Today the hard faults are split into P0D2B, P0E3D and P0E3E. The pilot signal itself is not affected; charging usually works, only the indication is wrong.
