P2552

Throttle/Fuel Inhibit A Circuit

Moderate severity

What it means

General electrical fault on the throttle/fuel inhibit input A. This input lets external safety functions (immobilizer, hybrid HV interlock, anti-theft) override the throttle or cut fuel delivery. With the input invalid the safety override is unreliable, so the ECM falls back to its safe default — typically inhibit asserted to err on the side of safety.
