P0C6D Generator Position Sensor Circuit B Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
The generator position sensor channel B reports a circuit intermittent/erratic fault. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Is it safe to drive with P0C6D?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
