What does code P2ABB mean?

Q: What does code P2ABB mean?

Wastegate Position Sensor B Circuit Low. P2ABB indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a low voltage condition on the signal circuit of wastegate position sensor B, which is used on turbocharged engines to monitor the actual position of the wastegate valve. The computer compares this signal against expected values and sets the code when the voltage falls below the calibrated threshold for a specified time, indicating an open circuit, short to ground, or sensor fault.
