Damaged, chafed or shorted-to-ground wiring in the position sensor signal circuit; Corroded, loose or water-contaminated connector at the charge port door actuator or sensor; Faulty charge port door position sensor or integrated door actuator assembly; Mechanical damage or a jammed door mechanism affecting the sensor or its feedback; Open or short in the sensor reference or supply circuit; Faulty control module driving or reading the sensor circuit; Outdated control module software where the manufacturer has issued a fix.

What it means

P0CCE means the control unit that manages the charge port door saw a voltage from the Charge Port Door 'A' position sensor circuit that was lower than expected. The signal is at or near ground, which usually points to a wiring, connector or sensor fault. The door position can't be confirmed, so the vehicle may not know whether the door is open or closed. The exact sensor type and which module monitors it depend on the model.

Symptoms

Charge port door will not open or close properly, or behaves erratically
Warning light or message about the charge system or charge port
Charging will not start, or is inhibited
Door open or closed status on the dashboard is wrong
Charge port lights or latch do not work as usual
Plug-in hybrid or EV warning lamp on with the code stored

Possible causes

Damaged, chafed or shorted-to-ground wiring in the position sensor signal circuitlikely
Corroded, loose or water-contaminated connector at the charge port door actuator or sensorlikely
Faulty charge port door position sensor or integrated door actuator assemblylikely
Mechanical damage or a jammed door mechanism affecting the sensor or its feedbackpossible
Open or short in the sensor reference or supply circuitpossible
Faulty control module driving or reading the sensor circuitrare
Outdated control module software where the manufacturer has issued a fixrare

How to diagnose

Read all stored and pending codes and the freeze frame data, and note whether the code is current or intermittent
Check for related charge port, door actuator or low-voltage supply codes that could point to a shared cause
Visually inspect the charge port area for damage, debris, water ingress, ice or a physical obstruction to the door
Operate the door by the normal controls and watch and listen for movement, and check the door moves freely by hand where the design allows
Inspect the wiring and connectors at the charge port assembly for chafing, corrosion, bent pins or moisture
With the correct wiring diagram, check the sensor circuit for short to ground, open circuit and correct reference voltage
Use a scan tool to watch the live door position value while the door is operated and see if it stays stuck low
Check the manufacturer's service information for software updates or known faults for this model

How to fix

Repair or replace damaged wiring and fix any short to ground in the sensor circuit
Clean, dry and re-seat corroded or loose connectors, replacing terminals or the connector where damaged
Replace the charge port door sensor or actuator assembly if the readings are faulty
Free or repair a jammed or damaged door mechanism
Replace the control module only after the wiring and sensor are proven good, and update software if the manufacturer lists it as a fix
Clear the code after repair and confirm it does not return while operating the door and charging

Can I keep driving?

Low severity

The car can usually be driven normally as this affects the charge port door rather than drive safety. However, you may be unable to charge reliably, so get it checked soon if you depend on plug-in charging.
