P2B54A Camshaft Profile Actuator B Control Stuck On Bank 2

P2B54 means the engine computer commanded the bank 2 camshaft profile actuator to move, but the actuator's feedback circuit stayed stuck in the 'on' or energized state. The powertrain control module (PCM) compares commanded position against actual position and sets this code when the circuit remains active longer than expected.
