P2D3BHybrid/EV Discharge System Fault

P2D3B indicates that the vehicle's hybrid or electric vehicle (EV) high-voltage battery management system has detected a fault in the discharge circuit, meaning the pack cannot deliver power as commanded. The computer monitors voltage, current, and contactor status during discharge and sets this code when the actual discharge behavior deviates from the expected profile.
