Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not replace a drive motor control module until communication, power, ground, cooling, and high-voltage safety checks are complete.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Check Drive Motor A control module communication, power and ground, torque command, motor speed, inverter status, DC bus voltage, and freeze-frame data.
Inspect module connectors, coolant or water intrusion, low-voltage supply stability, high-voltage interlock status, harness damage, and related inverter or motor codes.
Verify whether the fault is module communication, internal performance, motor feedback, or supporting power and ground before replacement.
