P0ED6Generator Phase X Current 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
- P0ED6 is stored when the current in phase X of the hybrid generator exceeds its permitted limit. No manufacturer documents P0ED6 publicly. Ford gives figures for the comparable U, V and W codes P0A71, P0A74 and P0A77 on its 2019 power-split hybrids: the motor/generator control unit declares overcurrent once the generator current magnitude passes 300 A for 400 microseconds, or 15 A for 200 ms just after power-up, when practically no current should flow. Genuine overcurrent points to a winding short, damaged insulation or a power switch that fails closed; a current sensor with too much gain triggers a false alarm. The inverter shuts down to protect itself, so the hybrid system may stop working. Low side: P0ED5; general code: P0ED4.
- What you may notice
- Sudden hybrid system shutdown or loss of ready mode
- MIL and hybrid warning
- Likely causes
- PossibleTurn-to-turn or ground short in the phase X winding
- PossibleInverter power switch failed closed
- PossibleCurrent sensor reading too high (false overcurrent)
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
