P2267 Fault Code

P2267 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description

Water in Fuel Sensor Circuit High

What does trouble code P2267 mean?

The P2267 code indicates that there is a high voltage condition in the water in fuel sensor circuit. This sensor is crucial for detecting any water contamination in the fuel system, which can lead to engine performance issues if not addressed promptly. A high voltage reading suggests that the sensor may be malfunctioning or that there is an issue elsewhere in its circuit.

Symptoms

What are the symptoms of the P2267 code?

Common symptoms associated with the P2267 code may include:

  • Check Engine Light illuminated on the dashboard.
  • Engine performance issues such as misfiring, stalling, or rough idling.
  • Difficulty starting the engine or reduced power output.
  • Possible fuel contamination leading to other mechanical issues.

Causes

What causes the P2267 code?

Several factors can lead to a P2267 fault code, including:

  • A defective water in fuel sensor that is sending incorrect voltage signals.
  • Corroded, damaged, or improperly connected wiring in the sensor circuit.
  • Faulty electronic control unit (ECU) settings or failure that affect sensor performance.
  • Presence of water or other contaminants in the fuel, leading to sensor false readings.

Possible Solutions

How to fix P2267?

To resolve a P2267 fault code, consider the following steps:

  • Inspect and test the water in fuel sensor for proper function and replace it if necessary.
  • Check the wiring and connectors in the sensor circuit for damage or corrosion.
  • Clean or repair any issues found in the circuit connections.
  • If all else fails, reprogram or replace the ECU if it is identified as faulty.
