P2E15Intermediate Shaft Selection Actuator Position Sensor Circuit

P2E15 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormal signal from the position sensor built into the intermediate shaft selection actuator, which is part of the variable valve timing or variable intake system on many modern engines. The PCM compares the sensor's reported actuator position against the commanded position and sets this code when the voltage or signal pattern falls outside the expected range for a calibrated period.
