P2DBFBattery Charger B Coupler Lock Position Sensor Circuit High

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
How the car detects it
P2DBF is set when the lock position signal of charger B's coupler stays above its permitted range. No manufacturer documents P2DBF publicly. Mitsubishi's procedure for the A-side code P0DA1 on the 2023 Outlander PHEV points to the usual culprits of a high reading: the sensor's ground pin at the lock actuator connector must show continuity to body ground (2 Ω or less), its supply pin must carry battery voltage, and the signal line to the PHEV-ECU is checked for an open; only then are the inlet assembly and the ECU suspected. GM's patent US8936482B2 explains why this matters: without a confirmed lock, fast charging is not allowed. The low counterpart is P2DBE. With an unbelievable lock state, inlet B is not released for charging.
What you may notice
  • Fast charging at inlet B not possible
  • Charging system warning message
Likely causes
  • LikelyOpen ground connection of the lock position sensor
  • PossibleOpen signal line between sensor and control module
  • RareSignal line shorted to a supply voltage
  • RareFaulty inlet assembly with integrated lock actuator
