Q: What does code P2296 mean?

Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Control Circuit High. P2296 means the powertrain control module (PCM) commanded the fuel pressure regulator for the second fuel circuit to a certain duty cycle, but the feedback voltage on the control circuit stayed higher than expected. The computer sees an open or shorted-high condition in the wiring that controls that regulator, so it cannot trust the fuel pressure control for that circuit.
