What does code P2E8A mean?

Q: What does code P2E8A mean?

Proximity Detection Circuit B High. P2E8A indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an abnormally high voltage on the proximity detection circuit B, which is used to monitor the position or presence of a component such as a sensor or actuator. The circuit is typically a low-voltage signal line, and a high reading means the PCM sees voltage above the expected range, often due to a short to power or an open circuit.
