What Does P0C62 Mean?
This code indicates that drive motor "B" position sensor circuit "B" is producing a signal voltage above the maximum threshold recognized by the powertrain controller. A high signal fault typically stems from a short to the voltage supply rail, an open ground reference, or an internally failed sensor outputting excessive voltage. The controller cannot trust the position data and will restrict or disable motor B.
Safety Warning
A high signal fault on motor B position sensor can cause dangerous commutation errors if the controller attempts to use the erroneous data. The protective shutdown of motor B reduces available drive power and may affect vehicle stability.
Common Causes
33%
Short to supply voltage in the circuit B signal wiring
25%
Open or high-resistance ground return wire causing signal float-high
20%
Internal sensor failure producing over-range voltage on circuit B
14%
Connector pin cross-contamination between supply and signal on circuit B
8%
Inverter control module input circuit pulling circuit B high
Diagnostic Steps
1
Measure circuit B signal voltage at the controller connector—confirm it exceeds the manufacturer's specified maximum threshold.
2
Disconnect the motor B position sensor and recheck the reading at the controller—if still high, the fault is in wiring or controller.
3
Verify ground return wire continuity and resistance for circuit B from the sensor to the controller ground point.
4
Inspect the connector for physical damage, bent pins, or conductive contamination that could bridge supply to signal lines.
5
If all external checks pass, perform manufacturer-specific diagnostics on the inverter controller to evaluate the circuit B input stage.

The most common cause of P0C62 (Drive Motor "B" Position Sensor Circuit "B" High) is: Short to supply voltage in the circuit B signal wiring
Typical repair costs for P0C62 range from $300 to $1,800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
A high signal fault on motor B position sensor can cause dangerous commutation errors if the controller attempts to use the erroneous data. The protective shutdown of motor B reduces available drive power and may affect vehicle stability.
