P045CEGR B Control Circuit Low

P045C indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a low-voltage condition on the control circuit for the EGR B solenoid, which is the secondary exhaust gas recirculation valve on systems that use two EGR valves. The computer expects to see a voltage within a specific range when commanding the valve, and a reading below that threshold for a set time triggers this code.
