P0D2F reports that the signal of inverter voltage sensor A for drive motor A sits at the bottom of its range, typical of an open circuit, a short to ground or no high voltage at all. In the 2018 Outlander PHEV Mitsubishi sets it in the front motor control unit when the sensor output stays below 0.5 V, equal to about 10 V on the bus, for 0.3 s while the propulsion system is active. The manual then checks the high-voltage fuse and the HV cabling before replacing the power drive unit, so a blown fuse or an open supply path can look like a sensor fault. The 2023 model uses 0.3 V at capacitor 1 for 0.16 s and lights the MIL. Expect the hybrid warning and loss of electric drive. The high side is P0D30.

Likely causes

Blown high-voltage fuse or disconnected HV cable
Voltage sensing in the power drive unit failed (open or short to ground)
High-voltage battery delivers no voltage

Symptoms

  • MIL and hybrid system warning
  • Vehicle not ready to drive or electric drive unavailable
