P0D05 Control Pilot Charging Ventilation Switch Stuck Off
The control pilot charging ventilation switch reports a stuck off condition. The on-board charger negotiates voltage, current and safety with the EVSE; a fault interrupts charging or limits it to AC slow-charge despite a DC fast charger being attached.
