P2E3CBattery Charger B Output Current Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P2E3C means charger B does not deliver the high-voltage current it has been asked for. No manufacturer documents P2E3C publicly. Its A-side model P0D22 is well covered: the 2011 Volt compares actual and desired current in constant-current mode against a table and sets the code after 150 bad samples in 300, One Trip Type A. Mitsubishi's 2022 Outlander PHEV stops charging if target and actual current differ by 3 A or more for 3 s while the PHEV-ECU permits charging. GM bulletins PIP4884B (2011 Volt, mostly in cold weather) and PIP5077D (2013 Volt) trace a MIL with P0D22 after charging to calibration and order a reflash of the hybrid powertrain control module 2, not a new charger. Voltage faults are P2E3A/P2E3B, a shorted output P2E3D. Charging slows or stops.
