This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer found a problem with the way two sensors are measuring the electricity in the car's power system. It's like two friends telling different stories about what happened, and the computer doesn't know which one to believe.
The vehicle's power module uses sensors to monitor the current flow. If the readings from two sensors, labeled A and B, don't match up as expected, the computer sets this code.
The P0CC5 code is triggered when there is a discrepancy between the readings of Current Sensor A and Current Sensor B in the 14 Volt Power Module. These sensors are responsible for monitoring the current flow to ensure that the electrical system is functioning correctly. A mismatch in their readings indicates a potential fault in one of the sensors or the wiring.
• Check engine light is on
• Electrical system malfunctions
• Possible battery charging issues
• Faulty current sensor A or B
• Wiring issues between the sensors and the power module
• Defective 14 Volt Power Module
Current Sensor: A device that measures the flow of electricity in a circuit.
Power Module: A component that manages and distributes electrical power in a vehicle.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for the current sensors.
• Test the current sensors for proper operation.
• Replace faulty current sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the 14 Volt Power Module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Chevrolet Volt
• Cadillac ELR
• Buick LaCrosse
• Regularly inspect electrical connections.
• Ensure battery terminals are clean and secure.
• Perform routine vehicle diagnostics.
Sensor Issue
• Have your vehicle inspected by a professional if the check engine light comes on.
• Do not ignore electrical issues as they can lead to bigger problems.
• Regular maintenance can help prevent sensor issues.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer to see if the repair is covered under warranty.
This code has been associated with hybrid and electric vehicles where precise power management is critical.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to prevent potential electrical system failures.
Driving with an unresolved electrical issue may lead to further vehicle damage and is not recommended.
• Vehicle ignition on
• Engine running
The 14 Volt Power Module is typically located near the vehicle's battery or under the hood.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: It's possible, but not recommended. Electrical issues can lead to more serious problems if not addressed.
Q: How do I know if a sensor is faulty?
A: A professional can test the sensors with specialized equipment to determine if they are working correctly.
