P2D99Starter/Generator Phase Y Current Circuit Intermittent/Erratic

P2D99 indicates that the engine control module has detected an intermittent or erratic current signal on the phase Y circuit of the starter/generator unit, which is the motor-generator assembly used in mild-hybrid and some stop-start systems. The computer monitors the current flow through this phase and flags the code when the signal momentarily drops out or fluctuates outside the expected range, rather than failing completely.
