P06B2 Sensor Power Supply A Circuit High

Same as P06B0 with supply voltage above the plausible range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Is it safe to drive with P06B2?

Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.

Common causes

  • Most likelySupply line shorted to higher voltage
  • Less likelyConnector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Less likelySupply wire pinched against B+ source

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Possible limp mode or no-start
  • Multiple follow-up faults across modules
  • Reset/relearn may be needed after repair
