P0ED5 Generator Phase X Current Low

P0ED5 means that phase X of the hybrid generator carries, or appears to carry, too little current while the generator is supposed to deliver torque. No manufacturer documents P0ED5 publicly. Mitsubishi publishes a comparable check for the U, V and W phases of the 2023 Outlander PHEV: with at least 50 A requested and the generator between 500 and 4,500 rpm, a phase current that stays within roughly 17 A of zero for 0.4 s sets P0E0C, as does a failed comparison with the target current. In phase X the same result comes from a broken phase cable, a burnt winding joint, an inverter switch that never conducts, or a current sensor stuck at its zero point. P0ED6 is the high case; the low codes of phases Y and Z are P0ED8 and P0EDB. Generator torque and charging suffer.

Likely causes

Open or loose phase X cable or terminal
Inverter power switch for phase X not conducting
Burnt or broken winding connection in the generator
Current sensor stuck near zero

Symptoms

  • Weak or no battery charging by the generator
  • Rough engine start or vibration from the generator
  • MIL and hybrid warning
