P0BEE: Drive Motor A Phase W Current Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

P0BEE checks the phase W current sensor of the motor A inverter for a plausible zero point. GM learns the sensor offset at each start while no current flows and sets the code above 30 A (2011 Volt and 2016 tables, Type A; 2012 two-mode trucks, Type B) or above 35 A (2019 table, Type A). In GM's BAS Plus (eAssist) table P0BEE is one of the faults that switch current control to a sensorless alternate mode, and it blocks the phase sum check P0BFD. Jeep lists P0BEE as Drive Motor A Inverter Phase W Current Sensor Circuit Performance on the 2020 Renegade and Compass 1.3 PHEV (EMEA), with turtle and Service 4WD lights, fixed by a hybrid control processor update.

Symptoms

• Malfunction indicator lamp
• Turtle (limp home) light and Service 4WD light (Jeep)
• Reduced electric drive power

Most likely causes

• Hybrid control processor software (Jeep bulletin 08-056-21/08-057-21)
• Zero offset of the phase W current sensor drifted beyond the limit
• Faulty sensing electronics in the power inverter module

What to check, in order

Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.

1. Read the codes with a hybrid-compatible scanner and write down the freeze frame data
2. Compare the reading with other engine data while varying the engine speed.
3. Make sure the battery cooling air intake is clean
4. Check the 12 V auxiliary battery, which can also trigger warnings
5. Leave any high-voltage measurements to a specialized repair shop

Good to know

• It can trigger limp mode.
• It affects emissions.

What each character of P0BEE means

• P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
• 0: Generic code: same on every make
• B: Subsystem depends on the code range
• EE: Specific fault in that system

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep driving with code P0BEE?

If the car still runs, drive as little as possible and go to a specialized repair shop. Do not touch the orange cables: they carry high voltage.

What causes code P0BEE?

The most common causes are: hybrid control processor software (Jeep bulletin 08-056-21/08-057-21); zero offset of the phase W current sensor drifted beyond the limit; faulty sensing electronics in the power inverter module.
