P2D0E Motor Electronics Coolant Pump C Control Module Overtemperature

P2D0E closes the motor electronics pump series: the control electronics integrated in pump C have reported an internal temperature above their limit. Smart pumps protect themselves by derating or switching off, and the module storing the code learns of it through the pump's status feedback. Heat usually comes from running without coolant, from a high load against a blocked branch, or from a defect on the pump board itself. No manufacturer publicly documents P2D0E. Ford's 2019 hybrid summary still covered such pump self-reports as one performance code (P0C73), while its 2024 summary names system overtemperature (98) as a separate auxiliary pump fault type; the 2020 Ford hybrids store P2D04 for pump A. A short to voltage on the pump C command line would be P2BD6, not this code. If pump C shuts down, power is limited.

Likely causes

Pump C running with too little coolant or air
Blocked branch raising pump load and electronics temperature
Defective control board inside pump C

Symptoms

  • Code sets mainly in heat or after long high-load operation
  • Pump C switches off and restarts after cooling
  • Warning lamp and reduced power
