Code result
P0E3D
Control Pilot Indicator Control Circuit Low
Moderate severity
What it means
Voltage on the control pilot indicator control circuit is below the expected window. The on-board charger negotiates voltage, current and safety with the EVSE; a fault interrupts charging or limits it to AC slow-charge despite a DC fast charger being attached.
Is it safe to drive?
