P2D98: Starter/Generator Phase X Current Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Dxx codes

What does P2D98 mean?

The current measurement on starter/generator phase X drops out or jumps intermittently. Loose connector or vibration-sensitive sensor.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Sensor connector not seated
  • Medium Harness chafing intermittently shorts the wire
  • Low Connector with intermittent contact under vibration

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.

Add your car to see reports of P2D98 on the same make and model first.
