Code result
P2D28
Cold Start Propulsion Torque Performance
Moderate severity
What it means
During cold start, the propulsion torque output does not match the calibrated cold-start torque profile. Cold engine response, hybrid blend, or torque modelling deviates from expected.
Is it safe to drive?
Use caution
The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
