Q: What does code P2584 mean?

Fuel Additive Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. P2584 means the fuel additive control module has sent a request to the engine computer to turn on the malfunction indicator lamp, usually because the additive dosing system has detected a fault that could affect emissions. The engine computer stores this code as a record of that request, so the underlying problem lives in the additive system rather than in the lamp circuit itself.
