Cold Start Hybrid/EV Drive Motor Inverter Torque Performance

High severity

What it means

During cold start, the inverter cannot deliver commanded torque to the drive motor within the expected window. Cold capacitor characteristic or switching loss elevated.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code can put the vehicle into limp or reduced-power mode. Avoid extended driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes
