P0C32
Issue in Hybrid/electric vehicle battery Cooling system
Generic OBD-II
What it means
A module reports a problem in the hybrid or electric vehicle battery cooling system. The stored name does not say whether the fault is a fan, pump, valve or sensor.
Can I keep driving? Use caution: hybrid and electric systems may limit power or shut down, and high-voltage faults are not for roadside fixes, so get it checked soon.
