What does code P2CDA mean?

Q: What does code P2CDA mean?

Alternative Fuel Tank A Vacuum Insulation Deteriorated. P2CDA indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a loss of vacuum insulation integrity in the alternative fuel tank designated as Tank A, meaning the tank's vacuum-sealed insulation barrier is no longer holding the expected vacuum level. The computer monitors the tank's vacuum decay rate and sets this code when the vacuum drops faster than the calibrated threshold, indicating deteriorated insulation performance.
