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 condemn the inverter until supporting sensor, cooling, and high-voltage supply conditions are checked.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Compare Motor B torque command, phase current, inverter temperature, DC bus voltage, position data, freeze-frame load, and related inverter or isolation codes.
Inspect inverter coolant flow, low-voltage power and ground, high-voltage cable seating, interlock status, connector sealing, and water intrusion evidence.
Follow high-voltage service procedures to separate inverter performance from motor, current sensor, position sensor, cooling, or battery voltage issues.
