P0D30Drive Motor A Inverter Voltage Sensor A Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P0D30 is the high-side partner of P0D2F: the inverter voltage signal of drive motor A stays near its upper limit. Mitsubishi checks it on the 2018 Outlander PHEV with the front motor unit supplied at 8 to 16 V; a sensor output above 4.7 V, which stands for roughly 440 V, for 0.3 s sets the code. The manual first asks whether the rear motor unit also stores P0DA6, because then a genuine overvoltage from the battery or the HV circuit is more likely than one bad sensor; fuse and cabling come next, the power drive unit last. The 2023 model uses 4.05 V at capacitor 1 for 0.16 s and turns on the MIL. A short to the sensor supply is the classic cause on the sensing side. Real overvoltage has its own code, P0C79.
- What you may notice
- MIL and hybrid system warning
- Electric drive switched off or reduced
- Likely causes
- PossibleVoltage sensing in the power drive unit shorted to supply
- PossibleReal overvoltage from battery or HV circuit (both motor units report)
- RareLoose or damaged high-voltage connection
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
