What P0EED means
P0EED concerns the active discharge path on the high-voltage side, the circuit that drains the DC link capacitors once the contactors have opened so that no dangerous voltage lingers. The code says this path does not perform as intended, whereas P0C76 only judges how long the voltage takes to fall. FCA lists P0EED-00 for the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in bulletin 08-107-17, next to P0C76, P0C77 and P0AFA: a loose terminal bolt where the high-voltage lead joins the inverter module (PIM) could arc, the MIL came on and propulsion might be lost. Repair was a torque check to 25 N·m, or a new inverter module and cable if arcing marks were found. As a reference for the timing side, GM's P0C76 fails when the inverter still reads above 200 V 3.5 s after opening, Type A.
P0EED at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor0.6 to 5.5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P0EED
- MIL or hybrid system warning on
- Loss of propulsion or vehicle will not enter ready mode
- Further high-voltage codes such as P0C76 or P0C77 stored at the same time
Common causes of P0EED
- Most likelyLoose or arcing high-voltage cable terminal at the inverter module (FCA 08-107-17)
- PossibleDischarge resistor or its switching transistor open or degraded
- PossibleInternal fault in the inverter or its voltage measurement
- Less likelyMain contactor sticking closed so the bus stays charged
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0EED means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| ED | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0EED 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 P0EED
What does P0EED mean?
P0EED means "Hybrid/EV Battery System Discharge Circuit Performance". P0EED concerns the active discharge path on the high-voltage side, the circuit that drains the DC link capacitors once the contactors have opened so that no dangerous voltage lingers. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0EED?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P0EED the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P0EED fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P0EED 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 P0EED to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 0.6 to 5.5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P0EED clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
