What does code P2AF6 mean?

Q: What does code P2AF6 mean?

Starter Relay C Stuck Off. P2AF6 means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the starter relay circuit designated 'C' is stuck in the off position, so the relay is not passing power to the starter when commanded. The PCM monitors the relay control circuit and sees no expected voltage change or current flow when it energizes the relay, indicating an open circuit, failed relay, or wiring fault.
