P0CC6: Charge Port Door Open Request Switch Wake-Up Circuit

What it means

The charge port door A open request switch wake-up circuit reports a fault. Operator request for charge port unlocking is unreliable.

At a glance

• Usually lights the check-engine light

How it works

The charge port door open request switch has a wake-up circuit that signals the vehicle electronics when the driver requests access to the charging port. This code sets when that wake-up circuit does not report the expected request, so unlocking or charging preparation may be unreliable.

Common causes

Most likely first.

1. Wake-up switch failed
2. Wiring fault

Symptoms

• Charge status indicator shows fault
• Charging may not start or interrupts
• Slower-than-expected charge rate

How to diagnose it

1. Check freeze-frame data and charge-status information, then try the normal charge-port release controls to see whether the wake-up request is intermittent or absent.
2. Inspect the charge port door switch and its connector for damage, moisture, corrosion, or a plug that is not fully seated.
3. Check the wake-up circuit wiring for an open, short, or poor ground using the manufacturer's wiring diagram.
4. Operate the switch while monitoring its wake-up signal with a suitable scan tool or meter, following the manufacturer's procedure.
5. If wiring and switch operation are correct, check the receiving module's wake-up input and related control circuits.

Common fixes

• Reseat the charge port door switch connector.
• Clean or repair corroded or damaged wake-up circuit terminals.
• Repair an open, short, or poor ground in the switch wiring.
• Replace the wake-up switch if it fails its circuit test.
• Repair a confirmed receiving-module input fault.

Can I keep driving?

The fault generally affects charge-port access or charging convenience rather than propulsion, but charging may fail to start or may be interrupted. Confirm the port is securely closed before driving and avoid relying on a release method that is not working consistently.
