What does code P2AB2 mean?

Q: What does code P2AB2 mean?

Catalyst Heater Control Module Supply Voltage. P2AB2 indicates that the catalyst heater control module has detected a supply voltage fault, meaning the voltage feeding the heater circuit is outside the range the module expects for proper operation. The computer monitors the power supply to the catalyst heater and sets this code when the voltage is too low, too high, or intermittent, which can prevent the heater from warming the catalyst efficiently during cold starts.
