P2ABC: Wastegate Position Sensor B Circuit High

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Axx codes

What does P2ABC mean?

Voltage on the wastegate position sensor B signal line is above the expected window. Wire shorted to B+ or sensor open.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Signal wire shorted to B+
  • Medium Open position sensor
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
