Electric Motor/Generator B Performance
on 2025 Ford F-150 3.5L V6 PowerBoost Hybrid · 4WD
What this code means
Motor/generator B (typically MG2 in hybrid systems) is not producing expected torque output. Torque request does not match measured output.
Symptoms
- Reduced acceleration
- Hybrid system malfunction warning
- ICE running more than expected
- Electric assist absent
- Uneven power delivery
- Fuel economy worse than normal
Common causes
- Motor winding degradation
- Resolver/encoder signal error
- Inverter B partial failure
- Motor bearing wear
- Phase wire connection issue
Diagnostic steps
- Compare MG2 commanded vs actual torque
- Test MG2 resolver/encoder signal quality
- Check inverter B fault codes
- Measure motor phase resistance balance
- Test motor insulation resistance
Repair notes
Replace MG2 assembly or repair phase connections. Inverter B may also need replacement.
