This code means there's a problem with the sensor that checks the voltage for a part of the car's electric motor system. It's like when a battery tester shows a low reading, but for a car's motor.
The P0E93 code indicates that the voltage sensor for the Drive Motor B Inverter is reading lower than expected.
The Drive Motor B Inverter Voltage Sensor B is responsible for monitoring the voltage levels in the inverter circuit of the electric drive motor. A 'Circuit Low' condition suggests that the voltage reading from this sensor is below the specified range, which may affect the performance of the electric drive system.
• Reduced vehicle performance
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Unusual noises from the electric motor
• Vehicle may not start or run properly
• Faulty voltage sensor
• Wiring issues such as shorts or open circuits
• Faulty drive motor inverter
• Corroded or damaged connectors
Inverter: A device that converts DC electricity to AC electricity.
Voltage Sensor: A component that measures the voltage in a circuit.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Test the voltage sensor for proper operation.
• Check the inverter for faults or damage.
• Replace the faulty voltage sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the drive motor inverter if necessary.
• Clear the code and test drive the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regular maintenance checks
• Ensure connectors are clean and secure
• Avoid exposing the vehicle to extreme conditions
Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage related to the drive motor inverter system.
This code has become more common with the increase in hybrid and electric vehicles, highlighting the importance of maintaining electric drive systems.
High – This issue can affect the vehicle's ability to operate efficiently and safely.
Driving with a malfunctioning electric drive system can lead to reduced performance and safety hazards. Address the issue promptly.
• Vehicle in 'On' position
• Drive motor system active
The Drive Motor B Inverter is typically located near the vehicle's electric motor, often in the engine compartment or under the vehicle.
Q: Can I drive with a P0E93 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it may affect the vehicle's performance and safety.
Q: How do I reset the P0E93 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is fixed, it should not return.
