P2BC6: Battery Charging System Positive Contactor B Stuck Open

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Bxx codes

What does P2BC6 mean?

The positive contactor B of the battery charging system reports a stuck open condition. HV charging path cannot be commanded reliably.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Contactor contacts oxidised - high resistance
  • Medium Contactor coil burned out
  • Low Carbon or debris buildup preventing free movement

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.

Add your car to see reports of P2BC6 on the same make and model first.
