P2BA0Coolant Pump C Underspeed

P2BA0 indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an underspeed condition from coolant pump C, which is typically an auxiliary electric pump used for charge air cooling or battery thermal management. The computer commands the pump to run at a specified duty cycle and monitors feedback, and it sets this code when the actual pump speed falls below the expected threshold for a calibrated amount of time.
