P0E5D
DC/DC Converter Enable Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
The DC/DC converter enable signal drops out or jumps intermittently. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
