What does code P06B0 mean?

Q: What does code P06B0 mean?

Sensor Power Supply A Circuit/Open. P06B0 indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an open circuit or low voltage on the power supply feed (often labeled Sensor Power Supply A) that feeds a group of sensors, typically 5-volt reference sensors. The computer monitors the voltage on this supply line and sets the code when it falls outside the expected range, usually because the circuit is open or shorted to ground.
