Abstract

Error code P2065 indicates a problem with the fuel level sensor B circuit. This sensor monitors the fuel level in the secondary fuel tank or sender unit. The code is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an abnormal voltage or signal from the sensor, often leading to an inaccurate fuel gauge or check engine light.
