Q: What does code P2E96 mean?

Charge Port Door B Open Request Switch Circuit High. This code indicates that the charge port door open request switch circuit for the electric vehicle's charging port (often called 'Door B' on vehicles with multiple charge doors) is reading a voltage higher than expected. The powertrain control module or charging control module detects an open circuit or short to voltage on the signal line, meaning the switch that tells the car the door is being opened is not sending a valid signal.
