This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the safety system that checks if the electric car's battery is safely connected when charging without wires.
The code indicates an issue with the high voltage interlock circuit in the inductive charging system of a hybrid or electric vehicle. This circuit ensures that the system is safe and properly connected during charging.
The P2D35 code is triggered when the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system detects a performance issue with the high voltage interlock circuit of the inductive charging system. This circuit is crucial for ensuring that the high voltage components are safely connected and isolated during the charging process.
• Charging system warning light on
• Inability to charge the vehicle
• Reduced charging efficiency
• Faulty high voltage interlock circuit
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Malfunctioning inductive charging system components
Inductive Charging: A method of charging electric vehicles without physical connectors by using electromagnetic fields.

This code has become more common with the increased adoption of inductive charging systems in electric vehicles.
High – This issue can prevent the vehicle from charging, affecting its usability.
Ensure all repairs are conducted by qualified professionals to avoid safety hazards associated with high voltage systems.
• Vehicle in park mode
• Charging system activated
The high voltage interlock circuit is typically located within the vehicle's charging system components, often near the battery or charging port.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: It's not recommended to drive the vehicle until the issue is resolved, as it may not charge properly.
Q: Is this a common problem?
A: This issue is relatively uncommon but can occur in vehicles with inductive charging systems.
