What does code P26E7 mean?

Q: What does code P26E7 mean?

Actuator Supply Voltage D Circuit / Open. P26E7 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an open circuit or abnormal voltage on the supply circuit for an actuator, specifically circuit D. This code is generic and applies to any actuator that the manufacturer has assigned to circuit D, such as a variable valve timing solenoid, turbocharger wastegate actuator, or transmission shift solenoid. The PCM monitors the voltage on the supply line and sets the code when it falls outside the expected range, typically indicating an open circuit or a short to ground or power.
