This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has detected that the power going to a part called the 'active air dam' is too low. The active air dam is a piece of the car that helps with airflow to make the car more efficient.
The vehicle's control module monitors the voltage supply to the active air dam. When it detects that the voltage is below the expected level, it triggers the C062E code.
The C062E code indicates a problem with the electrical circuit that supplies power to the active air dam. This could be due to a wiring issue, a faulty connector, or a problem with the active air dam motor itself.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Unusual noise from the front of the vehicle
• Faulty active air dam motor
• Damaged or corroded wiring or connectors
• Blown fuse in the circuit
Active Air Dam: A device that adjusts to improve vehicle aerodynamics.
Voltage: The electrical potential difference that powers components.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Check the fuse related to the active air dam circuit.
• Test the voltage at the active air dam motor.
• Replace or repair damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the blown fuse.
• Replace the active air dam motor if faulty.
• Multimeter
• Screwdrivers
• Wire repair kit

Moderate
• Chevrolet Silverado
• GMC Sierra
• Cadillac Escalade
• Regularly inspect wiring for wear and tear.
• Keep connectors clean and free of corrosion.
• Ensure fuses are in good condition.
Electrical Circuit Issue
• Avoid driving at high speeds until the issue is resolved.
• Consult a professional mechanic for accurate diagnostics.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on electrical components.
This code has been more commonly reported in vehicles with advanced aerodynamic features.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to maintain vehicle efficiency.
Driving with unresolved electrical issues can lead to further damage or decreased vehicle performance.
• Vehicle ignition in the ON position
• Active air dam engaged
The active air dam is typically located at the front lower part of the vehicle, near the bumper.
Q: What is an active air dam?
A: An active air dam is a component that adjusts to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
Q: Can I drive with this code?
A: It's possible to drive, but it's recommended to fix the issue to avoid reduced efficiency.
