Engine Disconnect Clutch Actuator Control Circuit Driver Current/Temperature Too High

Where it lives

For P288C, the actuator sits on the circuit this code reports. The description of P288C reports a fault at the actuator.

Check these first

• Excessive current draw in the engine disconnect clutch actuator
• A short to ground in the actuator control circuit
• A binding engine disconnect clutch actuator
• A hot or failing actuator driver in the control module
• A damaged actuator connector drawing high current

What to do next

1. Read engine disconnect clutch actuator current on a scan tool
2. Command the actuator and watch current draw
3. Test the actuator control circuit for a short to ground
4. Inspect the actuator for binding or mechanical drag
5. Replace the actuator if current stays high
6. Clear the code and retest
