P24F0

Control Module Wake-up Circuit Low

Moderate severity

What it means

The wake-up input on the control module reads stuck low — usually a short to ground or a permanently asserted wake signal. The module either keeps waking up unnecessarily and drains the battery, or it cannot distinguish a real wake event from the stuck low level.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Wake-up wire shorted to ground

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Door, hood or terminal switch stuck closed

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
