Q: What does code P2DEB mean?

Cylinder 2 Intake Valve Lift Range/Performance. P2DEB indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an out-of-range condition in the intake valve lift system for cylinder 2, typically on engines equipped with variable valve lift. The computer monitors the valve lift actuator and its position feedback, and it sets this code when the commanded lift does not match the actual lift within a calibrated tolerance or when the circuit signal falls outside its expected range.
