P05CA Powertrain

Economy Mode Switch Circuit High

Same as P05C7 with the signal shorted to supply. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Affected components

  • Economy mode switch

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Signal shorted to supply
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
