Drive Motor "B" Phase U Current Low

What Does P0A67 Mean?

Drive Motor B Phase U current is reading below the expected minimum threshold. The hybrid control module detects that Phase U stator current in the secondary drive motor is abnormally low during operation. This typically indicates an open Phase U winding, a disconnected cable, or a failed-low current sensor.

Safety Warning

Single-phase loss causes severe vibration and overheating. Do not drive — tow to service.

Common Causes

35%

Open circuit in Phase U stator winding of drive motor B

Drive Motor B Stator
Phase U Winding

25%

Phase U current sensor failure reading low in motor B inverter

Phase U Current Sensor
Motor B Inverter

25%

Disconnected or high-resistance Phase U cable to motor B

Phase U Cable
Motor B Terminal

15%

Motor B inverter Phase U IGBT stuck open

Inverter IGBT Module
Gate Driver Circuit

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: In live data, verify Phase U reads near zero for motor B while V and W show normal current, confirming a U-specific low condition.

2

Step 2: With HV system de-energized, check Phase U winding continuity on motor B from terminal to neutral point.

3

Step 3: Inspect Phase U cable and terminals for loose connections, corrosion, or damage. Torque to specification.

4

Step 4: Test the motor B inverter Phase U IGBT pair for opens using diode-check mode.

5

Step 5: Replace the faulty component and confirm balanced three-phase current during a controlled motor test.

Estimated Repair Cost

$500 - $3,500
