P0EE3A/C Refrigerant Distribution Valve B Control Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- P0EE3 concerns the wiring between the controlling module and refrigerant valve B, most often an interrupted path. With the output switched off, the driver normally sees a defined voltage through the coil; with it switched on, current flows. If neither picture appears, for instance because a pin has backed out of the connector or the coil winding is broken, the circuit is declared open. No manufacturer documents P0EE3 publicly. That valve B exists as a separately monitored part is shown by Audi's A7 PHEV, whose thermal management unit J1024 reports its mechanical fault as P0EE200. Typical hardware is a 12 V solenoid like Egelhof's shut-off valves. CARB requires every electronic output used for battery thermal management to be checked for open circuits. The matching valve A code is P2611.
