This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has found a problem with a sensor that checks the temperature of the battery charger. It's like a thermometer for the charger, and it's not working right.
The P1CC2 code indicates an issue with the temperature sensor circuit for the battery charger control module. The sensor is not providing the expected range of readings.
The Battery Charger Control Module Temperature Sensor 'A' is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the battery charger. This sensor ensures the charger operates within safe temperature limits. If the sensor's readings are outside the expected range, the control module cannot accurately manage the charging process, which may lead to inefficient charging or overheating.
• Check engine light illuminated
• Battery may not charge properly
• Possible overheating of the battery charger
• Faulty temperature sensor
• Wiring issues such as open or short circuits
• Defective battery charger control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system for self-diagnostics in vehicles.
Battery Charger Control Module: A component that manages the charging process of a vehicle's battery.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P1CC2 code.
• Inspect the wiring and connections to the temperature sensor.
• Test the temperature sensor for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty temperature sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Replace the battery charger control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Toyota Prius
• Regularly inspect electrical connections.
• Ensure the battery charger is operating in a clean, dry environment.
• Perform routine maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
• Avoid charging the vehicle until the issue is resolved to prevent potential damage.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on electrical components.
This code is relatively uncommon and typically occurs in hybrid or electric vehicles with advanced charging systems.
Moderate – It is advisable to address this issue soon to ensure proper battery charging and prevent potential overheating.
Driving with this issue may lead to inefficient battery charging and potential safety risks. It is recommended to address the issue promptly.
• Vehicle must be in a safe, stationary position.
• Ensure the battery charger is connected and operational.
The temperature sensor is typically located near the battery charger or within the battery control module compartment.
Q: Can I drive my car with a P1CC2 code?
A: It is not recommended to drive for extended periods with this code, as it may lead to inefficient charging or overheating.
Q: How do I reset the P1CC2 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is resolved, the code should not return.
