DC/AC Converter Control Module Control Circuit Range/Performance
What it means
P0364 is a hybrid/electric-vehicle code meaning the control circuit for the DC/AC converter β the inverter that turns high-voltage battery DC into AC for the drive motor β is reading outside its expected range. It points to a fault in that converter's control circuit or module rather than the engine, and the exact behaviour and repair are very vehicle-specific.
Can I keep driving? Treat with caution β this is a high-voltage hybrid/EV fault that can drop the car into reduced power or stop it moving; have it diagnosed by a hybrid-qualified technician and don't work on the high-voltage system yourself.
Common symptoms

- Poor connections on the converter control sideCommon
- Control-module or software faultLess often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Have a hybrid/EV-qualified technician diagnose using the factory procedure β the high-voltage system is dangerous to probe.
- Scan for related hybrid/high-voltage codes to see the wider picture.
- Inspect the converter control-circuit wiring and connectors for damage.
- Test the DC/AC converter (inverter) and its control module per the manufacturer's tests.
- Repair the circuit or replace the converter/module as the factory procedure directs, then clear and re-test with proper equipment.
