What P25A2 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

P25A2 sits in the generic range of the OBD-II standard, so it means the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States — but WhichTrim does not carry a definition for it and will not invent one. What is on this page is the record: who named it and on what.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Chevrolet and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P25A2 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 14 manufacturer filings and 12 owner reports naming P25A2 on 13 Chevrolet model years (2019–2026). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Chevrolet models does P25A2 appear on most?

2019 Silverado (10 documents), 2024 Colorado (3 documents), 2023 Colorado (3 documents).

Does P25A2 on a Chevrolet mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
