Official description

Fuel Volume Regulator B Control Circuit High

Laymans terms

This code means that the computer in the car has detected a problem with the part that controls how much fuel goes into the engine. It's like if a water faucet was stuck on high, pouring too much water into a cup.

Explanation

The engine control module (ECM) has detected a high voltage condition in the circuit controlling the fuel volume regulator B.

Technical description

P2373 indicates that the ECM has found an unusually high voltage signal from the fuel volume regulator B control circuit. This could be due to a malfunctioning regulator, wiring issues, or a problem with the ECM itself. The fuel volume regulator is responsible for adjusting the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
