Alternative Fuel Tank B Level Sensor Circuit Low. P2A61 indicates that the powertrain control module detected a low voltage signal from the fuel level sensor in the alternative fuel tank, designated as tank B. This low signal typically means the sensor circuit is shorted to ground or the sensor itself has failed, preventing accurate fuel level reporting for that tank.
