P0D3EBattery Charger A Input Voltage Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- P0D3E means the AC input voltage seen by the on-board charger does not agree with other information. GM uses it across generations: the 2011-2014 Volt charger module compares the AC peak voltage with two internal bulk voltage readings and sets a Type A fault when both differ by more than 34 V (59 V in 2014); the 2016 and 2019 Volt check the charger's duty-cycle report while driving and fail it outside 8-12 %, Type B. GM bulletins PIC5803B to D tie P0D3E to interrupted charging with certain charging stations and fix it with new BCCM software. Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV flags an input voltage reading of 25 V or more held for 2 s. Electrical low and high faults are P0D3F and P0D40. Usually only charging is affected.
