P2D3A Forced Hybrid/EV System Shutdown

P2D3A records that the high-voltage system as a whole was shut down by force rather than in the normal power-down sequence. Stellantis uses it in the battery pack control module (BPCM) of its 400 V STLA Large electric cars, the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona (bulletin 08-025-25) and the 2024–2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (08-011-25, 08-128-25). In these bulletins the code is not the complaint itself: after the BPCM has been reprogrammed, the technician checks whether P1614 (ECU reset), P2D3A or U029A (lost sensor module) are present, and for P2D3A runs the BPCM Soft Reset routine in wiTECH. The code can therefore follow a module reset, a software fault or a safety reaction elsewhere. A disconnect of the battery alone is P2D39. While it is active the car may refuse to become ready.

Likely causes

Battery control module reset or reprogramming leaving the shutdown latched (Stellantis BPCM)
Software fault in the battery or vehicle control module
Safety reaction to another high-voltage fault, which is stored alongside

Symptoms

  • Vehicle does not enter drive-ready mode
  • Wrench or service warning in the instrument cluster
