P23A8Exhaust Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve B Position Sensor Stop Performance

P23A8 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a performance problem with the position sensor stop for the exhaust heat exchanger bypass valve B. The sensor's signal does not correlate with expected values during self-tests or commanded movements, suggesting the sensor's mechanical stop is misadjusted, damaged, or the sensor itself has failed.
