This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the part of the car that charges the battery without plugging it in, like magic. It's not working right.
The code indicates an issue with the inductive charging system for the hybrid or electric vehicle's battery. The system is not performing within the expected range.
The P2D37 code is triggered when the vehicle's control module detects that the inductive charger input circuit is not operating within the expected parameters. This could be due to a malfunction in the inductive charging system, which is responsible for wirelessly charging the vehicle's battery.
• Battery not charging
• Warning light on dashboard
• Reduced driving range
• Faulty inductive charging pad
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Malfunctioning control module
Inductive Charging: A method of charging that uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between two objects.
Control Module: A computer in the vehicle that manages specific functions, such as charging.
• Inspect the inductive charging pad for damage
• Check wiring and connectors for continuity
• Test the control module for faults
• Replace damaged charging pad
• Repair or replace faulty wiring
• Reprogram or replace the control module
• Multimeter
• OBD-II scanner
• Screwdriver set

Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regular maintenance checks
• Keep charging pad clean
• Avoid physical damage to charging components
Charging System Issue
• Avoid using the vehicle until repaired
• Consult with a certified technician
• Ensure proper charging procedures are followed
Check with your vehicle's manufacturer for warranty coverage on hybrid/EV components.
This code has been relatively uncommon but is becoming more frequent with the increase in hybrid and electric vehicles.
Moderate – It is important to address this issue to ensure the vehicle charges properly and maintains its driving range.
Driving with an unresolved charging issue may lead to reduced vehicle performance and range, potentially causing safety risks.
• Vehicle parked on a flat surface
• Charging system connected and active
The inductive charging components are typically located underneath the vehicle or in the charging pad area.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: It's not recommended as the battery may not charge properly, reducing your driving range.
Q: Is this a common problem?
A: It's becoming more common as more vehicles use inductive charging technology.
