What does code P2880 mean?

Q: What does code P2880 mean?

Engine Disconnect Clutch Actuator Circuit Low. P2880 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a low-voltage condition on the electrical circuit for the engine disconnect clutch actuator, which is the mechanism that decouples the engine from the transmission in certain hybrid and automatic-stop-start systems. The PCM monitors the actuator circuit and sets this code when the signal voltage falls below the expected threshold, indicating a short to ground, an open circuit, or a faulty actuator.
