What P2CCC means
P2CCC continues the state-of-health series for sectioned traction batteries in the P2 block: after A (P0A7F) and B to F (P0EDD to P0EE1), section G is the seventh. The controller has concluded that this part of the pack has lost too much usable capacity or power. Audi uses the code on the Q5 PHEV as P2CCC00 for battery group 7 in hybrid battery management unit 008C. Its February 2025 reporting obligation 2076982/1 links the entry to a yellow engine lamp and a too-short displayed electric range and asks for a call to technical assistance before any part is changed; bulletin 2079556/1 of September 2025, covering model years 2020 to 2024, then calls for replacing the module behind the entry. CARB wants faults of individual storage parts such as cells to name the smallest unit a workshop can renew. Section H is P2CCD.
P2CCC at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor1 to 8 hours
- Clears after repairAfter a drive cycle
Symptoms of P2CCC
- Yellow engine warning lamp on
- Displayed electric range too low
- Electric driving mode unavailable or ends early
Common causes of P2CCC
- Most likelyBattery module of group 7 lost capacity or power
- PossibleSingle weak cell block dragging the section down
- Less likelyState-of-health estimate of the battery controller wrong
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2CCC means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| C | Area: hybrid propulsion. |
| CC | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2CCC 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 P2CCC
What does P2CCC mean?
P2CCC means "Hybrid/EV Battery Pack G Deterioration". P2CCC continues the state-of-health series for sectioned traction batteries in the P2 block: after A (P0A7F) and B to F (P0EDD to P0EE1), section G is the seventh. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2CCC?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P2CCC the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P2CCC fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2CCC 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 P2CCC to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 1 to 8 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2CCC clear itself after the repair?
After the repair the car has to complete a drive cycle (a mix of city and highway driving) before the test runs again. Until then the readiness monitor shows "not ready", which can fail an inspection.
