P0D2E means the inverter voltage reading of drive motor A is electrically valid but disagrees with other measurements of the same high-voltage bus. Mitsubishi shows the logic for the 2023 Outlander PHEV: with voltage control active, the power drive unit compares capacitor 1 with the rear motor unit and with both channels of capacitor 2; a gap of 100 V or 50 V held for 0.2 s sets the code, and an implausible PWM period counts too; the MIL comes on. Mercedes lists P0D2E00 in the battery management of its 2024 P3 plug-in hybrids (series 206, 223, 254, 290) when the high-voltage belt starter-alternator has failed and the engine no longer starts. So a drifting sensor and a real fault elsewhere on the bus are both possible. Hard circuit faults are P0D2D, P0D2F and P0D30.

Likely causes

Voltage sensing in the power drive unit drifts or reads wrong
Fault in another HV component, e.g. belt starter-alternator (Mercedes)
High resistance or loose high-voltage connection between modules

Symptoms

  • MIL and hybrid system warning
  • Engine will not start, only electric driving possible (Mercedes)
  • Reduced drive power
