- How the car detects it
- P0D3A is the low-signal fault of the charger A input current sensor. Mitsubishi defines it for the 2022 Outlander PHEV as a short to ground: if the sensor output falls below 0.344 V, which corresponds to roughly -54 A, for 0.5 s while the charger supply is 10-16 V, charging is stopped and the combined charger and DC/DC unit is swapped. GM's battery charger control module in the 2011 Volt compares the reported current with a lower bound (0.8 A; 1.65 A in the 2014 table with AC voltage above 80 V) for 160 of 200 ms and rates it Type A, so the MIL comes on. The mirror fault is P0D3B, offset errors fall under P0D39. Usually the sensor inside the charger is at fault rather than outside wiring; charging stays unavailable until repaired.
