P2E96Charge Port Door B Open Request Switch Circuit High

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
How the car detects it
P2E96 is stored when the request signal of charge flap B climbs past the top of its permitted range. Contact with a 12 V supply raises it, and so does a broken sensor ground or switch path that lets a pulled-up input float. The control unit then usually sees a request that never arrives. No manufacturer documents P2E96 publicly. GM's Volt table for flap A sets the matching P0CCA when readings pass 94.5 percent in 6 out of 8 cases, Type B. On Porsche's Taycan each flap can be moved both from the centre console and by the touch-free sensor; bulletin 186/24 has technicians test both ways on both sides and check lines and plug connections before replacing parts. Low readings are P2E95, the invalid middle band P2E93.
