P0E3DControl Pilot Indicator Control Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P0E3D concerns the lamp or LED that shows the state of the pilot connection to the charging station, not the pilot signal itself. Low means the driver circuit reads too little voltage, typically because the line to the LED is shorted to ground. No manufacturer documents P0E3D publicly. GM's Volt tables for 2011 and 2012 (11OBDG01, 12OBDG01A) fold this case into the older open-circuit code P0D2B: a ground short is detected while the LED is commanded on, with 12 failed samples out of 15 at one sample every 100 ms, Type B. The current code set gives the ground short its own code, while P0E3E takes the short to voltage. The indicator stays dark or wrong, charging normally continues. Pilot line faults are P0CF3 and P0CF4.
