P2D98Starter/Generator Phase X Current Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

P2D98 indicates that the engine control module has detected an intermittent or erratic current signal on the phase X circuit of the starter/generator unit, which is the motor-generator assembly used in mild-hybrid and stop-start systems. The computer monitors current flow through this circuit and flags the code when the signal drops out or fluctuates outside expected limits, often due to a poor connection or internal fault.
