What P00C6 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

P00C6 sits in the generic range of the OBD-II standard, so it means the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States — but WhichTrim does not carry a definition for it and will not invent one. What is on this page is the record: who named it and on what.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what GMC and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 25 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P00C6 on 7 GMC model years (2016–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2016 Yukon (13 documents), 2016 Sierra (6 documents), 2016 Sierra 2500HD (3 documents).

Does P00C6 on a GMC mean it is recalled?
