• P0CCD
• P0CCE
This code means there's a problem with the sensor that tells the car if the charging door is open or closed. It's like when your fridge light doesn't turn on because the door sensor is broken.
The P0CCC code is triggered when the vehicle's computer detects an issue with the circuit responsible for monitoring the position of the charge port door.
The charge port door position sensor circuit is responsible for providing feedback to the vehicle's control module regarding the status of the charge port door (open or closed). If the circuit is malfunctioning, it may affect the vehicle's charging operations.
• Inspect the charge port door for physical damage.
• Check the wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage.
• Test the position sensor for proper operation.
• Replace the charge port door position sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring/connectors.
