Code P2C90: Crankcase Ventilation System - Hose A Disconnected
Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P2C90 (Crankcase Ventilation System - Hose A Disconnected) sets when the ECM's crankcase pressure model detects a pressure signature consistent with a specific PCV hose (A or B) being disconnected or split, rather than a generic system leak. A hose that popped off a fitting from age-hardened rubber, a split hose from oil-vapor degradation, or a loose clamp are the common causes.
