Q: What does code P2B5D mean?

Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve Position Sensor Circuit. P2B5D indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormal condition in the electrical circuit for the engine coolant flow control valve position sensor. This sensor reports the actual position of the valve that regulates coolant flow, and the code sets when the sensor signal voltage falls outside the expected range or does not correlate with commanded valve position.
