- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P2E05 flags implausible data from sensor B, the backup gear lever sensor. It is one of the few codes of this family with public manufacturer use. On 2022–24 Lexus NX 250/350 and 2022 NX 350h/450h+, Toyota stores it as P2E04-64, a plausibility failure of sensor B, often alongside P2E01; bulletin L-SB-0050-22 (revised October 2023) changes the floor shift assembly logic by reflash, with 0.8 h labour and no part swap. In GM's 2025 ECM tables (25OBDG04B) P2E05 belongs to gear lever position sensor 2: an internal error reported over the second SENT channel, threshold 99.84 %, 160 failures in 200 samples, blocked by lost-communication codes U1194, U1196, U13E1 and U13E3; Type B, two trips. Axis checks of that sensor are P089B and P08A0.
