P0EEE is the overheating verdict for the second measuring point of the charging inlet: sensor B works electrically, but the contact it watches has become too hot, so charging is throttled or stopped. Electrical faults of sensor B have their own codes P0EE7 to P0EEB; overheating at point A is P0E5F, at points C and D P2E4E and P2E53. Ford documents P0EEE in special service message 55080 for certain Mustang Mach-E (2021 to 2023), E-Transit (2022 to 2025) and F-150 Lightning (2022 to 2023): DC fast charging at level 3 stations breaks off, and the vehicle stores P0EEE:27 together with P2E53:27 in the SOBDM. Ford traces this to module software, says a new charge port does not cure it and expects a software fix in Q3 2026; AC charging keeps working. Outside this case, worn or dirty pins are the usual cause.

Likely causes

Software of the charging diagnostic module misjudging the temperature (Ford SSM 55080)
Worn, dirty or corroded pins in the charging inlet
Loose crimp or screw connection behind the inlet pin raising contact resistance
Worn plug of the charging station heating the contact

Symptoms

  • DC fast charging stops or does not start
  • Charging power reduced while AC charging still works
  • Charging fault message in the cluster or app
