Q: What does code P2DE3 mean?

Cold Start Fuel Injection Quantity D Higher Than Expected. P2DE3 means the engine control module (ECM) has detected that the cold-start fuel injection quantity for cylinder D is higher than the calibrated expected value. During a cold start, the ECM commands a specific amount of extra fuel per cylinder, and it monitors how much correction is needed; this code sets when the correction for cylinder D exceeds the allowed threshold.
