1 vehicles · 1 makes
Most Reported On
P1A0F is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Drive Motor A Control Module.” P1A0F is a manufacturer-specific hybrid/electric-vehicle code relating to the drive motor 'A' control module — the inverter/motor-control electronics that drive the traction motor. This module manages the high-voltage power that spins the electric drive motor; the code sets when it detects an internal fault, a voltage/communication problem, or another condition that prevents normal motor control. Because exact criteria vary by manufacturer, confirm against the specific vehicle's service information. Symptoms commonly include reduced power, a hybrid/EV system warning light, the car refusing to start in EV mode, or limp-home operation. High-voltage components require proper safety precautions. This code is most commonly reported on 2023-2024 Jeep Avenger.
