P0DFF

Battery Charger Coolant Control Valve Control Circuit High

Voltage on the battery charger coolant control valve control line is above 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.

  • Check engine light: Yes
