This code means there's a problem with a part of your car's air conditioning system. It's like a little door that helps control the flow of the cold air, and it's getting too hot or using too much power.
The code indicates an issue with the control circuit of the A/C refrigerant distribution valve, specifically a high current or temperature condition.
The P0EE6 code is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects that the driver current or temperature for the A/C refrigerant distribution valve B control circuit is too high. This could be due to a short circuit, excessive resistance, or a malfunctioning valve.
• A/C not cooling properly
• Check Engine Light on
• Unusual noises from the A/C system
• Short circuit in the control circuit
• Faulty A/C refrigerant distribution valve
• Excessive resistance in the wiring
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
A/C: Air Conditioning
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage
• Test the A/C refrigerant distribution valve for proper operation
• Repair or replace damaged wiring
• Replace the A/C refrigerant distribution valve
• Clear the code and test the system
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regular maintenance of the A/C system
• Check wiring for wear and tear
• Ensure proper refrigerant levels
A/C System Issue
• Have the A/C system inspected regularly
• Address any A/C issues promptly to avoid further damage
Check with your vehicle's warranty for coverage on A/C system components.
This code has been reported in hybrid and electric vehicles where precise control of the A/C system is crucial for efficiency.
Moderate – While it may not immediately affect drivability, it can lead to discomfort and further A/C system damage if not addressed.
Driving with a malfunctioning A/C system can lead to discomfort, especially in extreme weather conditions. Address the issue promptly.
• Engine running
• A/C system engaged
The A/C refrigerant distribution valve is typically located near the evaporator or within the A/C system housing.
Q: Can I drive with the P0EE6 code?
A: Yes, but it's recommended to fix the issue soon to avoid discomfort and potential further damage to the A/C system.
Q: Will the A/C stop working completely with this code?
A: Not necessarily, but it may not cool as effectively, and the issue could worsen over time.
