P0BDC Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor E Circuit Range/Performance
The ECM detects a circuit range/performance fault on the drive motor inverter temperature sensor e circuit. Reading cannot be used reliably for control.
Is it safe to drive with P0BDC?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
Common causes
- Most likelySensor characteristic drifted
- PossibleSensor mounting displaced
- Less likelySensor element aged beyond calibration window
Symptoms
- EV/hybrid system warning light on
- Reduced motor power or torque
- Possible limp mode or vehicle shutdown
