This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
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.
• Charge port door not opening or closing properly
• Warning light on the dashboard
• Inability to charge the vehicle
• Faulty charge port door position sensor
• Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors
• Faulty control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system for vehicle diagnostics.
Sensor: A device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
• 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.
• Reprogram or replace the control module if necessary.

Moderate
• Tesla Model S
• Chevrolet Bolt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regularly inspect the charge port door for damage.
• Keep the charging area clean and dry.
• Perform routine maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Ensure the charge port door is not obstructed.
• Avoid slamming the charge port door.
• Schedule regular maintenance checks.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on electronic components.
This code has become more common with the increase in electric vehicles, as charge port door sensors are critical for charging operations.
Moderate – While it may not immediately affect driving, it can prevent charging, which is crucial for electric vehicles.
Ensure all repairs are performed by a qualified technician to avoid voiding warranties or causing further damage.
• Vehicle parked and powered off
• Charge port door manually operated
The charge port door position sensor is located near the charge port, typically integrated into the door assembly.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: Yes, but you may not be able to charge your vehicle until the issue is resolved.
Q: Will this code affect my car's performance?
A: It won't affect driving performance but can prevent charging, which is essential for electric vehicles.
