P0D93 reports a lock control circuit that reads higher than the module expects, classically a drive line shorted to a supply voltage. Ford shows that mechanical damage leads there as well: TSBs 22-2355 and 23-2014 list P0D93:00, alongside P0D94, P0D98, P0D9E and P0DA0, as stored by the SOBDM (secondary on-board diagnostic module) of Mach-E, e-Transit and F-150 Lightning built 2021–2023. If the DC fast-charge plug is pulled without the release button held fully down, the locking pin of the actuator can break or go missing; the cluster then shows Charger Service Required and the next level 3 session fails. Ford replaces only the actuator, quoting 1.2 to 1.7 hours of labour. A short to ground on this output would be P0D92, an open circuit P0D91.

Likely causes

Locking pin broken or missing after the plug was pulled while latched (Ford)
Lock drive wire shorted to a supply voltage
Internal electrical fault in the lock actuator
Driver stage of the controlling module defective

Symptoms

  • DC fast charging (level 3) inoperative
  • Charger Service Required indicator in the cluster (Ford)
  • Locking pin visibly broken or absent at the inlet
