The two Samsung pages that cover PC word it differently. For the US page it is a Zone Wash error: the Zone Wash feature is misbehaving. The Australian page treats PC and PE as one dividing valve check, which appears if that valve is defective.
Samsung’s steps
Power the machine down.
Begin a fresh cycle.
Should PC reappear, request service.

PE: the half load function error, listed beside PC on the Australian page.
If PC comes back after a restart, you can reach Samsung dishwasher repair for San Francisco and Bay Area households at (415) 969-6153. Keep the code, the model number and a note of the restart you tried within reach.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so PC may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
