P0C05
Drive Motor A Phase U-V-W Circuit/Open
What it means
P0C05 means Drive Motor A Phase U-V-W Circuit/Open.
Check these first
- An open in the drive motor A phase U-V-W output circuit
- A failed insulated gate bipolar transistor inside the drive motor control module
- An open or short in the starter generator control module harness
- An internal fault in the starter generator control module
What to do next
- Read drive motor A phase data on a scan tool while cranking
- Inspect the phase U-V-W output circuit and connectors
- Test the phase U-V-W circuit for open and short faults
- Compare the phase readings across the drive motor control module
- Replace the starter generator control module if a phase stays open
- Clear the code and retest
