P05FB
Stop-Start Status Signal Circuit High
Same as P05F9 with the signal shorted to supply. 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.
- Check engine light: Yes
- Emissions related: No
- Repair difficulty: easy
