P0DFC Generator Position Sensor Not Learned
The hybrid control module has not learned the rotor position offset for the generator. Phase commutation cannot be optimised until learning completes.
Is it safe to drive with P0DFC?
Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
Common causes
- Most likelyAdaptation lost after battery disconnect
- PossibleSensor replaced without learn procedure
