- How the car detects it
- P2092 is the Low fault of the intake phaser valve (actuator A) on bank 2, which exists only on V and boxer engines with a separate valve per bank. Bank 2 is the side without cylinder 1. GM's 3.6 L LFX V6 in table 19OBDG03B checks this output with the high-side logic known from bank 1: a short to ground while energised, below 0.5 ohms, 20 bad samples out of 25, Type A, lamp in the first trip. The low-side controller in GM table 23OBDG07 tests the line while switched off and confirms after 0.2 s. Ford's 2014 petrol list includes P2092 but marks it only for the continuous monitor, not for the key-on or running self-test. If only bank 2 reports a fault, compare the valve resistance with the bank 1 valve and look for chafing where the harness crosses the cylinder head.
