This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble reading the temperature from a sensor that helps manage the battery charger. It's like trying to read a thermometer that's acting funny.
The car's battery charger control module relies on temperature sensors to regulate charging. If the sensor's readings are inconsistent, it may trigger this code.
The P1CC4 code indicates that the Battery Charger Control Module has detected an intermittent or erratic signal from Temperature Sensor 'B'. This could affect the charging process and efficiency of the vehicle's battery system.
• Check engine light is on
• Battery charging issues
• Possible reduced vehicle performance
• Faulty temperature sensor
• Wiring issues or poor connections
• Malfunctioning battery charger control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system in vehicles for self-diagnosis and reporting
Battery Charger Control Module: A component responsible for managing the charging of the vehicle's battery
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connections for damage or corrosion
• 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
• Regular maintenance checks
• Ensure battery connections are clean and secure
• Monitor battery performance regularly
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the check engine light
• Seek professional diagnosis if unsure
• Regularly monitor vehicle performance
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage on sensors and control modules.
This code has been more frequently reported in hybrid and electric vehicles due to their reliance on battery management systems.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be operable, it's important to address this issue to avoid potential battery charging problems.
Driving with this code may lead to reduced battery performance and efficiency. Always ensure your vehicle is in safe operating condition.
• Vehicle must be in a state where the battery charger is active
• Ambient temperature should be within normal operating range
The temperature sensor is typically located near the battery or within the battery charger control module.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: Yes, but it's advisable to get it checked soon to prevent potential battery issues.
Q: How can I reset the check engine light?
A: Fix the underlying issue first, then use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code.
