P2BD9Motor Electronics Coolant Temperature Sensor B Range/Performance

P2BD9 indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected an out-of-range or performance fault in the coolant temperature sensor circuit for the motor electronics cooling system, often associated with hybrid or electric vehicle power electronics. The ECM compares the sensor signal against expected values and flags the code when the voltage or resistance falls outside the valid range for a calibrated period.
