P2D82Charging Start Switch Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

P2D82 means the engine control module has detected an intermittent or erratic signal on the charging start switch circuit, which is the input that tells the module the charging system is being commanded to start. The computer is not seeing a clean, consistent switch state; instead the voltage on that circuit jumps or drops out unpredictably, so the module cannot trust the start request.
