If you have a Mazda Axela Hybrid, the 2014 model, one of the errors you might have is the P0A94 error.

However, right off the bat, you will not see this error on the dash or screen.

It is after you have run an OBD2 scanner that you will see this specific error.

When you experience this problem, the car will suddenly lose power, then you will see the following errors on the screen.

Then on the dashboard, you will see the following error icons.

Based on my experience, the DC / DC Converter Performance shows that the step-down/step-up transformer inside the inverter has malfunctioned.

Causes of the DC / DC Converter Performance Error

The two main reasons that are most likely the cause of a faulty inverter (step-up/step-down transformer) are wear and tear, and overheating.

Solution

My recommendation for how to solve this problem is to just replace the inverter.

There is the option of importing the inverter from Japan or sourcing one locally in Kenya.

Contact us if you need help sourcing for an ex-Japan inverter for your Mazda Axela Hybrid, the 2014 model.
