P0D3FBattery Charger A Input Voltage Sensor A Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- P0D3F reports that the charger's AC input voltage reading is too low. In the 2011-2014 Volt GM's charger module sets it when the AC peak stays below 90 V while AC is present (1.5 s in 2011, 5.5 s in 2014), Type A; the 2016-2019 Volt instead watches a duty-cycle signal at or below 8 %. GM bulletin PIC5803D links it to certain charging stations and to grid brown-outs during storms, 12-08-45-001A to electrical noise on household circuits, and PIT6353 to DC-only NACS adapters plugged into AC chargers on newer GM EVs. Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV treats a sensor output under 0.474 V as a short to ground and stops charging. The opposite fault is P0D40. Check the supply and the charging equipment before replacing parts.
- What you may notice
- Charging does not start or is interrupted
- MIL on (GM)
- Charge cord LEDs flash or the charge indicator changes colour repeatedly
- Likely causes
- LikelyWeak, interrupted or noisy AC supply (brown-out, shared circuit)
- PossibleDC-only adapter used on an AC charger (GM PIT6353)
- PossibleCharger module software needs update (GM PIC5803D)
- RareVoltage sensor signal shorted to ground in the charger
