P0ED9 Generator Phase Y Current High

P0ED9 is set when phase Y of the hybrid generator draws more current than allowed. No manufacturer documents P0ED9 publicly. Overcurrent in a generator phase is a protection event: the inverter must switch off within fractions of a millisecond, before its power semiconductors are destroyed. The scale is illustrated by Ford's limits for the U-V-W phases, 300 A for 400 microseconds in operation. Causes include a short between turns or to ground in the Y winding, a chafed phase cable and an inverter switch stuck on; a sensor that reads high can imitate the fault. If several phases report high at the same moment, the inverter or its common supply is more likely than three separate defects. Low side: P0ED8; the same fault on phase X: P0ED6.

Likely causes

Short in the phase Y winding or to the housing
Inverter switch stuck on
Current sensor reading too high
Chafed phase cable shorting to ground

Symptoms

  • Hybrid system shuts down, vehicle may lose ready mode
  • MIL and hybrid warning
