Q: What does code P2A2E mean?

Alternative Fuel Tank Shutoff Valve E Control Circuit/Open. P2A2E indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an open circuit or control fault on the electrical path for the alternative fuel tank shutoff valve E. The PCM commands this valve to close during specific conditions, such as refueling or a detected leak, and it monitors the circuit for expected voltage or current; when the feedback does not match the command, the code is stored.
