P0D2ABattery Charger Input Current Too High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- P0D2A reports that the on-board charger draws more AC input current than allowed. GM's Volt and ELR use two limits: more than 17 A at 185 V or above, more than 13 A below 185 V; 240 failures in 300 samples set it as One Trip Type A. The code is used widely: Stellantis (Battery Charger 1, Jeep Renegade and Compass PHEV 2020-2021, IDCM reflash with pilot codes P0CF3/P0CF4), Ford (2021 Mustang Mach-E, MIL from PCM parameters, TSB 22-2034, module reprogramming), Toyota and Lexus (P0D2A19 with PFC boost fault P1C1B00 on the RAV4 Prime with 6.6 kW charger and the NX 450h+, charger replacement), Kia (2023 Niro EV ICCU) and the newer Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Charging stops, often with MIL. Too little current is P0D29.
