What does code P23EA mean?

Q: What does code P23EA mean?

Camshaft A Position Signal Output Circuit Low Bank 2. P23EA indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a low-voltage condition on the output circuit for the bank 2 camshaft A position signal. This means the signal wire is likely shorted to ground or the sensor's internal output driver has failed, preventing the PCM from receiving a valid camshaft position reading.
