What it means

P0CC6 means the control unit has found a fault in the wake-up circuit for the charge port door open request switch. This is the signal that wakes the vehicle's modules when the switch is pressed. The unit saw a voltage or signal that did not match what it expected, such as an open circuit, a short, or a switch stuck in one state. The exact switch position and wiring layout depend on the model.

Symptoms

Charge port door does not open when the switch is pressed
Vehicle does not wake up when the open request switch is used
Charging system warning message or warning light
Intermittent charge port door operation
Unexplained 12V battery drain if the wake-up signal is stuck on

Possible causes

Damaged, corroded or loose wiring or connector in the switch wake-up circuitlikely
Faulty or stuck charge port door open request switchlikely
Water ingress or contamination at the switch or charge port areapossible
Low or unstable 12V supply causing a false circuit faultpossible
Open or short circuit to power or earth in the wake-up wiringpossible
Fault in the control module that monitors the switch circuitrare

How to diagnose

Read all stored and pending codes and record the freeze frame data, noting any other charging or door-related codes.
Check the condition and charge state of the 12V battery, as low voltage can set false circuit faults.
Visually inspect the open request switch, charge port area and related connectors for damage, water, corrosion or loose pins.
Operate the switch and watch the live data, if available, to see whether the request status changes cleanly with each press.
Use the manufacturer wiring diagram to check the wake-up circuit for continuity, short to power and short to earth, with the circuit isolated as the procedure directs.
Check the supply and earth at the switch and at the controlling module.
Check for manufacturer service information on this fault for the specific model.
Clear the code after repair and retest the switch operation to confirm the fault does not return.

How to fix

Repair or replace damaged wiring, and clean or replace corroded or loose connector terminals.
Replace the charge port door open request switch if it is faulty or stuck.
Dry out and seal any area with water ingress, and fix the cause of the leak.
Charge or replace a weak 12V battery and correct any charging or supply fault.
Replace or reprogram the controlling module only if testing confirms it is at fault and the manufacturer procedure supports it.

Can I keep driving?

Low severity

The car can normally still be driven and the fault does not usually affect safety. Check that you can still open the charge port and charge the vehicle, using the manual release in the handbook if needed, and book it in soon.
