What are the common causes of P2D9B?

A loose or chafed starter/generator phase U current wire. An intermittent phase U current sensor. Corrosion at the phase U connector. A loose inverter ground. A failing starter/generator phase U winding.

Wiggle test the phase U wiring while reading current. Inspect the phase U connector for corrosion. Check the inverter ground. Monitor phase U current for dropouts. Repair the intermittent phase U wire. Clear the code and retest.
