This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble figuring out if the door where you plug in the charger is open or closed.
The vehicle's control module is unable to accurately determine the position of the charge port door due to a performance issue in the position sensor circuit.
The P0CCD code indicates a problem with the performance of the circuit responsible for detecting the position of the charge port door. This could be due to a malfunctioning sensor, wiring issues, or a failure in the control module that processes the sensor's data.
• Charge port door not opening or closing properly
• Warning light on the dashboard
• Inability to start charging
• Faulty charge port door position sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Faulty control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system in vehicles for self-diagnostics and reporting.
Sensor: A device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
• Check for any visible damage to the charge port door and sensor.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for any signs of wear or damage.
• Use a diagnostic tool to read the sensor data and check for faults.
• Replace the charge port door position sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Screwdriver set

Moderate
• Tesla Model S
• Nissan Leaf
• Chevrolet Bolt
• Regularly inspect the charge port door and sensor for damage.
• Ensure the charge port door is clean and free of debris.
• Schedule regular maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid forcing the charge port door open or closed.
• Keep the charge port area clean and dry.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage on electrical components.
This code is relatively new and is more common in electric vehicles as they become more prevalent.
Moderate – While not immediately critical, it can prevent charging if not addressed.
Ensure all repairs are conducted by a qualified professional to avoid voiding warranties or causing further damage.
• Vehicle parked and powered off
• Access to charge port door
The charge port door position sensor is typically located near the charge port, often integrated into the door mechanism.
Q: Can I still drive my car with this code?
A: Yes, you can still drive, but you may have trouble charging the vehicle.
Q: Is this a common issue?
A: It can occur in electric vehicles, especially if the charge port door is frequently used or exposed to harsh conditions.
