P0D55Battery Charger Hybrid/EV Battery Output Current Sensor Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P0D55 describes an output current signal from the charger that flickers, jumps or briefly drops out rather than tracking the regulated charging current. No manufacturer documents P0D55 publicly. GM and Mitsubishi publish only fixed limits (P0D53 and P0D54) and, at Mitsubishi, a zero-point test (P0D52) for this sensor; a sudden step that returns to normal would not necessarily trip those. CARB's charger requirement for plug-in hybrids is the regulatory basis for monitoring the signal at all. Typical triggers are intermittent internal contacts, solder fatigue from heat cycles during charging, or electrical noise from the charger's switching stage. The likely result is charging that stops and restarts or finishes much later than expected.
