Is P2A02 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P2A02 is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P2A02 at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
