P05AEActive Grille Air Shutter B Performance/Stuck Off

P05AE indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a performance fault with the active grille air shutter for bank B, meaning the shutter is not moving to or holding the commanded position and is considered stuck off. The PCM commands the shutter motor and monitors position feedback, and when the actual position does not match the expected position within a calibrated time, it sets this code.
