What P0D67 means
P0D67 says that the control electronics of the on-board charger are not working properly. Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV manuals (2019 and 2022) spell out what that means there: with the charger supplied at 10 to 16 V, the code sets when one of its internal supply rails leaves its window for 1 s, 3.0 to 3.6 V for the 3.3 V rail, 5.3 to 6.8 V for the 6 V rail or 9.4 to 14.9 V for the 12 V rail. Charging is then stopped, and the only listed remedy is a new charger/DC-DC converter unit. Kia's bulletin 298 for the 2023 Niro EV names P0D67 among codes that lead to replacing the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) and mentions a possible MIL. Driving usually still works, but plug-in charging does not. Processor faults of the same module are P0E5E.
P0D67 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyWorkshop only
- Typical labor1 to 5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P0D67
- Plug-in charging stops or does not start
- Electric vehicle system warning in the cluster, possibly MIL
- Vehicle can still be driven on stored energy or fuel
Common causes of P0D67
- Most likelyInternal low-voltage supply of the on-board charger out of tolerance
- Most likelyOn-board charger or integrated charging unit failed
- Less likelyWeak 12 V supply or poor ground at the charger
- Less likelyCharger software fault, fixed by an update where available
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0D67 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 67 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0D67 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 P0D67
What does P0D67 mean?
P0D67 means "Battery Charger Control Module A Performance". P0D67 says that the control electronics of the on-board charger are not working properly. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0D67?
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 P0D67 fail an emissions test?
P0D67 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 P0D67 to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 1 to 5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P0D67 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
