Q: What does code P2D96 mean?

Starter/Generator Phase Y Current Sensor Circuit Low. P2D96 indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a low voltage condition on the signal circuit of the phase Y current sensor for the starter/generator unit. This sensor monitors current flow in one phase of the motor-generator, and the low signal suggests a wiring fault, sensor failure, or internal issue in the starter/generator.
