P0AEE on Chevrolet
Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance
P0AEE on Chevrolet vehicles indicates drive motor inverter temperature sensor "a" circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chevrolet model — most commonly on Bolt EV. Drive motor inverter temperature sensor 'A' signal is implausible or out of expected range relative to conditions.
Common Causes of P0AEE
- •Drifting/aging sensor
- •High-resistance connection
- •Wiring fault
- •Control module fault

- "Propulsion Power Is Reduced" / Turtle Mode from Battery Low-Voltage Cell Condition2017-2023
One of the defining Bolt EV faults: the dash throws "Propulsion Power Is Reduced", the turtle icon lights, and the car derates to a crawl - sometimes at freeway speed with no warning. GM issued a customer satisfaction bulletin in April 2018 for what it calls a battery low voltage cell condition on early Bolt EVs, where one or more cells sags below threshold and the BECM cuts power. GM stated the condition also gives the driver inaccurate state-of-charge information, so the car reports more usable energy than it actually has before it derates. GM used OnStar telematics to monitor affected cars for low cell voltage and reduced-propulsion events. There are two distinct populations: a genuine weak-cell or weak-module condition (the 2017-2019 LG-cell cars, most likely to end in module replacement), and an over-sensitive BMS calibration that throws a false alert, for which GM released updated software. Forum reports pair the message with codes P0AEE, P9BD2 and P0BDC. On 2020-2023 cars the same message more often traces to the advanced diagnostic software flagging a specific module by design.
