P2C69Drive Motor A Phase X Current
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2C69 is the general fault for the current in phase X of drive motor A, as the inverter measures it. J2012 places the X, Y and Z series next to the U/V/W codes P0A5D-P0A65 without public explanation; in motor design those letters usually name the second three-phase winding set of a dual-winding machine. A Mitsubishi Electric patent for hybrid and electric drives shows such a layout, with its own inverter and a separate current sensor for each of X, Y and Z. No carmaker documents P2C69 publicly. By analogy with the U/V/W codes it covers a reading the controller cannot trust, a sensor circuit fault or a cable or winding defect that is not clearly a low or high value; those cases are P2C6A and P2C6B. The driver sees the hybrid or drive warning and limited or no electric power.
- What you may notice
- Hybrid or electric drive warning and MIL on
- Reduced electric drive power or vehicle not ready to drive
- Further phase current or inverter codes stored at the same time
- Likely causes
- LikelyPhase X current sensor or its supply/signal circuit in the inverter faulty
- PossibleHigh-voltage phase lead X loose, burnt or poorly joined at motor or inverter
- PossibleInternal inverter fault (switching leg or measurement electronics of the X/Y/Z set)
- RareWinding fault in phase X of drive motor A
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
