P2AD5 — Intermediate System Voltage High
The intermediate (DC-link) system voltage in the hybrid power electronics is above the expected window. Common during regenerative braking when energy recovery exceeds storage capacity.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
- Dc link capacitor
- Hv battery
- Regenerative brake system
Possible causes to check
These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.
- Regenerative braking overshoot
- BMS cell balancing off - voltage spikes
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur

Check each reference's vehicle and model-year scope. General background links do not establish which fault is most likely on your vehicle.
Diagnostic information is provided for reference only. Confirm the code with a compatible scan tool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures before replacing components.
