Code status

Needs verification

Not yet verified against SAE J2012_202509 / J2012DA. Treat unverified rows as a lookup aid, not repair authority.

System: Hybrid / EV

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 clear intermittent Motor A position faults without checking connector retention and shielded harness condition.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Review freeze-frame torque request, motor speed, road vibration, temperature, inverter state, and related intermittent resolver or encoder codes.
Inspect connector pin fit, shielded cable flex points, water intrusion, loose grounds, heat damage, and routing near high-current motor cables.
Wiggle-test and heat-test the position sensor circuit while graphing Motor A position data for dropouts, spikes, or phase errors.
