What does code P0D5D mean?

Q: What does code P0D5D mean?

Battery Charger Hybrid/EV System Discharge Time Too Short. This code indicates that the hybrid or electric vehicle's battery charger system detected a discharge time that was shorter than expected during a self-test or active discharge cycle. The computer monitors the high-voltage battery pack's voltage decay when a controlled discharge is commanded, and if the voltage drops too quickly, it flags P0D5D because the discharge time fell below the calibrated threshold.
