P0C76 OBD-II: Hybrid Battery System Discharge Time Too Long
P0C76 Severity
Should you fix P0C76 yourself?
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0C76?
When the High Voltage System is turned off, the Motor Generator (MG) Control Module (or Motor Control Module depending on manufacturer) discharges any residual voltage in the inverter/converter assembly. If the voltage does not fully discharge within the specified amount of time, P0C76 will set.
