P0AC4 MIL illumination requested by hybrid powertrain control module

Posted by

P0AC4 Possible Causes

  • Faulty hybrid powertrain control module
  • Hybrid powertrain control module harness is open or shorted
  • Poor electrical connection in hybrid powertrain control module circuit

What Does It Mean?

How to Fix Code P0AC4

Check the “possible causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

P0AC4 Technical Notes

The P0AC4 code is only an informational code. If there are no other engine codes, the hybrid powertrain control module should be diagnosed.

P0AC4 Possible Symptoms

Engine light on (or service engine soon warning light)

P0AC4 Meaning

The P0AC4 code indicates that the hybrid powertrain control module has set a hybrid powertrain code related to emissions. The hybrid powertrain control module sends a message via the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM) requesting illumination of the malfunction indicator light (MIL). When the ECM receives the message, the P0AC4 code is set. The P0AC4 code information for the ECM will only display the P0AC4 code, but the freeze frame/failure record data may display the hybrid powertrain code that is set.
