Q: What does code P2A8E mean?

Alternative Fuel Pump A Performance. P2A8E indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a performance problem with the alternative fuel pump circuit, typically the pump responsible for delivering a secondary fuel such as compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. The PCM monitors the pump's electrical current and feedback signals during commanded activation and sets this code when the pump does not respond as expected within a calibrated time window.
