Q: What does code P2DEA mean?

Cylinder 1 Intake Valve Lift Range/Performance. P2DEA indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an out-of-range or performance fault in the intake valve lift system for cylinder 1, typically on engines equipped with variable valve lift or continuously variable valve timing. The computer monitors valve lift through position sensors or by comparing expected intake airflow and camshaft response, and it sets this code when the measured lift does not match the commanded value within a calibrated threshold.
