P2E36 Battery Charger B Enable Circuit Low
Battery charger B reports a enable circuit low condition. HV charging operation may be impaired. 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.
