Official description

Actuator Supply Voltage B Circuit High

Laymans terms

This code means that the car's computer detected a problem with the power supply to a part of the car, like a motor or a sensor. It's like when a toy doesn't work because the batteries are too strong.

Explanation

The P2671 code is triggered when the engine control module (ECM) detects a high voltage condition in the actuator supply voltage B circuit.

Technical description

The actuator supply voltage B circuit provides power to various actuators in the vehicle. If the ECM detects that the voltage in this circuit is higher than expected, it sets the P2671 code. This could be due to a short circuit, a faulty actuator, or an issue with the wiring or connectors.

Diagnosis steps

• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.

• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.

• Test the actuator for proper operation.

• Check the power supply relay for faults.

• Measure the voltage in the circuit with a multimeter.

Repair procedures

• Replace or repair damaged wiring or connectors.

• Replace the faulty actuator.

• Replace the faulty power supply relay.

• Repair or replace the ECM if necessary.

Tools required

• OBD-II scanner

• Multimeter

• Screwdriver set

Estimated repair cost

$150 - $500
