P2E2E
Low Severity (Level 2)Battery Charger A Module Supply Voltage High
P2E2E usually means battery Charger A Module Supply Voltage High.
Can you still drive with P2E2E?
⚠️Short-distance driving is usually OK, but have this diagnosed within a week to prevent further damage.
Typical repair cost: $100 – $500
Severity Level 2 — Low
This code indicates a minor issue that is unlikely to cause immediate driveability problems. You can typically continue driving but should have the vehicle inspected at your earliest convenience.
Common Symptoms
- The battery voltage/system voltage is not operating as designed
- Warning light or malfunction indicator related to the battery voltage/system voltage is illuminated
- Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored in module memory
- Fault may be intermittent — code may clear itself and reappear
- Reduced vehicle functionality related to the battery voltage/system voltage
Possible Causes
- Faulty battery — most common cause, test before replacing
- Damaged or corroded wiring/connector in the battery voltage/system voltage circuit
- Blown fuse or faulty relay for the battery voltage/system voltage
- Poor ground connection — check and clean all related ground points
- Control module fault — rare but possible, only consider after ruling out simpler causes
Common Fixes
- Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($26-122 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
- Visually inspect the battery voltage/system voltage wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $119 diagnostic fee at shop)
- Replace battery if testing confirms it has failed — use OEM quality, avoid the cheapest no-name aftermarket parts that fail in a year ($100-500)
- Check and replace any blown fuses in the battery voltage/system voltage fuse circuit — if fuse blows again, there's still a short that needs to be found ($4-14 for fuses)
- Perform a wiggle test on the battery voltage/system voltage wiring harness while monitoring live data — see if the fault returns when you move the harness at different points ($0-115 diagnostic labor)
