Q: What does code P2A40 mean?

Alternative Fuel System - Injector Leakage to Rail Detected. P2A40 is a generic powertrain code indicating that the engine control module has detected an injector leakage condition on the alternative fuel rail, typically by monitoring fuel pressure decay or injector feedback signals after the injectors are commanded closed. The computer interprets an unexpected pressure loss or injector response as fuel escaping past an injector seat into the rail.
