What P0E07 means
P0E07 is set when the phase V current sensor in the generator inverter reports a signal stuck high. Mitsubishi's 2023 Outlander PHEV has its generator control unit flag P0E07-00 as soon as the V-phase voltage is at 4.5 V or above for 0.2 s while its own supply is at least 8 V; MIL and hybrid warning both illuminate. Real current cannot cause such a value, so the fault lies in the sensor, a short to its supply or in the evaluation circuit. The earlier Outlander PHEV, which measured only phases U and W, has no counterpart. When several phase sensors report high at the same moment, a shared supply problem inside the unit is a more likely explanation than three separate defects. Siblings for phase V: P0E05 (offset) and P0E06 (low).
P0E07 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor1 to 5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P0E07
- MIL and hybrid system warning light on
- Generator switched off or limited
- Other phase current sensor codes stored at the same time
Common causes of P0E07
- Most likelyV-phase sensor signal shorted to its supply
- PossibleCommon sensor supply in the power drive unit too high or faulty
- PossibleCurrent sensor failed with high output
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0E07 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 07 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0E07 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P0E07
What does P0E07 mean?
P0E07 means "Generator Phase V Current Sensor Circuit High". P0E07 is set when the phase V current sensor in the generator inverter reports a signal stuck high. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0E07?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P0E07 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P0E07 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P0E07 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P0E07 to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 1 to 5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P0E07 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
