What P0D24 means
P0D24 is stored when the on-board charger reports an internal temperature above its permitted limit. Chargers protect themselves by reducing power or stopping, so the driver typically notices slow or interrupted AC charging. Kia lists P0D2498, failure type 98 for over-temperature, among the codes of the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) in bulletin 298 for the 2023 Niro EV: poor or no charging on level 1 or level 2 while DC fast charging still works, sometimes with MIL and warning messages; after checking the 12 V battery and other conditions, the ICCU is replaced. CARB requires plug-in hybrids to detect charger faults that prevent or slow charging. Besides an internal defect, a weak cooling path, low coolant or a blocked air flow can drive the temperature up. Cooling system performance is P0D8F.
P0D24 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor0.5 to 5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P0D24
- AC charging slow, interrupted or impossible while DC fast charging works
- Warning message for the electric system, sometimes MIL
Common causes of P0D24
- Most likelyInternal defect in the charger or charging control unit (Kia ICCU replacement)
- PossibleLow coolant, failed pump or blocked air flow on the charger cooling path
- Less likelyCharger temperature sensor reading too high
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0D24 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 24 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0D24 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P0D24
What does P0D24 mean?
P0D24 means "Battery Charger A Temperature Too High". P0D24 is stored when the on-board charger reports an internal temperature above its permitted limit. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0D24?
Usually yes, for a short time, if the check engine light is steady and the car drives normally. If the light flashes or the car runs badly, stop and have it checked.
Will P0D24 fail an emissions test?
P0D24 is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is P0D24 to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P0D24 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
