P0DA1Battery Charger A Coupler Lock Position Sensor Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P0DA1 is the high-side fault of the lock position feedback: the signal stays near its upper limit, which points to an open circuit somewhere in the sensor loop rather than a grounded wire. In the 2023 Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi sets it in the PHEV-ECU when the supply is on and a high input from the lock position reading is seen. The test steps reveal the likely weak spots: terminal 1 of the lock actuator connector must have a ground path of no more than 2 Ω, terminal 2 must show battery voltage, the signal line to the PHEV-ECU must be intact, and the sensor in the inlet harness must read 16.8 kΩ within 5 percent. A failed ground, a broken wire or an open sensor therefore all end here. Mitsubishi's warning lamp table does not list it. The low counterpart is P0DA0.
