This code means there's a problem with the pump that helps cool down the car's electric motor. It's like when a fan doesn't work to cool down your computer, and it gets too hot.
The P0CC2 code indicates an issue with the control circuit for the coolant pump that manages the temperature of Drive Motor A. This could be due to an electrical fault or a performance issue with the pump.
The P0CC2 code is triggered when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a range or performance problem in the control circuit of the coolant pump responsible for cooling Drive Motor A. This could be due to a malfunctioning pump, wiring issues, or a faulty control module.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Overheating of the drive motor
• Reduced vehicle performance
• Faulty coolant pump
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Faulty control module
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage.
• Test the coolant pump for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty coolant pump.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Wrench set
$200 - $600
Moderate
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Toyota Prius
• Regularly inspect coolant pump and wiring.
• Ensure coolant levels are maintained.
• Perform routine vehicle maintenance.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving the vehicle if overheating occurs.
• Consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis.
• Regularly check for updates or recalls related to the vehicle's cooling system.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on the cooling system components.
This code has been more prevalent in hybrid and electric vehicles due to their reliance on electric motor cooling systems.
Moderate – It is important to address this issue to prevent potential damage to the drive motor.
Driving with an overheating motor can cause severe damage and may void warranties. Ensure repairs are conducted by qualified professionals.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Coolant system fully pressurized
The coolant pump is typically located near the drive motor and connected to the vehicle's cooling system.
Q: Can I drive my car with a P0CC2 code?
A: It is not recommended to drive the vehicle if the motor is overheating, as it can cause further damage.
Q: How do I reset the P0CC2 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue persists, further diagnosis is needed.
