Q: What does code P2DEF mean?

Cylinder 6 Intake Valve Lift Range/Performance. P2DEF indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an out-of-range condition in the intake valve lift system for cylinder 6, typically on engines equipped with variable valve lift. The computer monitors the valve lift actuator or oil control valve and sets this code when the commanded lift does not match the actual lift within a calibrated threshold.
