What are the common causes of P2D9C?

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

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