P2CFABelt Integrated Starter Generator Belt Tensioner Control Circuit Low

P2CFA indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an abnormally low voltage or current on the control circuit for the belt tensioner that is part of the belt integrated starter generator system. The computer expects a specific electrical signal on the tensioner control circuit and instead sees a value below the acceptable threshold, which can prevent proper belt tensioning and may disable the start-stop or hybrid assist functions.
