P0D57Proximity Detection Circuit A Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- How the car detects it
- P0D57 means the plug-present signal of proximity circuit A is electrically within limits but its value or behaviour does not fit the situation, for instance a level between the defined states for plugged, unplugged and latch pressed. FCA uses the code on the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid: bulletins 08-044-20 (2017) and 08-042-20 (2018) list P0D57 with control pilot codes P0CF3 and P0CF4 behind an illuminated MIL and cure it by reflashing the hybrid control processors HCP and AHCP. FCA publishes no thresholds. The J1772 proximity circuit relies on defined resistor steps, so worn inlet contacts or an off-standard charging cable can shift the reading. Hard short circuits are P0D58 and P0D59.
