P2E8CBattery Charger B Charge Sequence Signal 1 Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- Charge sequence signals 1 and 2 belong to DC fast charging to CHAdeMO, used for example on the Nissan Leaf, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Outlander PHEV. Signal 1 runs over connector pin 2: the station closes its switch d1 and applies 12 V to the line, which tells the car it is ready and starts the CAN dialogue. P2E8C means the vehicle sees this line high when it should not, for instance with no station connected or after the station has opened d1 once a session is over, or the level exceeds the allowed range. Likely reasons are a short to a 12 V source in the harness or inlet, or a faulty input stage. No manufacturer documents P2E8C publicly. The car can then no longer trust the start and stop handshake and usually refuses DC charging. The low counterpart is P2E8D.
