P2D80: Charging Start Switch Circuit Low
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Dxx codes
What does P2D80 mean?
The charging start switch reports a circuit low condition. Charging initiation cannot be reliably commanded by the operator.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Common causes
- High Signal wire shorted to ground
- Medium Switch stuck off
- Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
