P267D Fault Code

B Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit High Bank 2

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P267D fault code indicates that the Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit for Bank 2 is reading a high voltage or an out-of-range value. This issue can affect engine performance as it may prevent the proper operation of the variable valve timing system. It is essential for the actuator to position the rocker arms accurately to optimize engine efficiency and power output.

What are the symptoms of the P267D code?

• Check engine light illuminated on the dashboard.
• Decreased engine performance or power.
• Rough idling or misfires, especially during acceleration.
• Increased fuel consumption due to inefficient valve operation.
• Unusual engine noises related to valve operation.

What causes the P267D code?

• Potential wiring issues in the sensor circuit, such as shorts or open circuits.
• A faulty rocker arm actuator position sensor.
• Malfunctioning engine control unit (ECU) that fails to interpret the sensor data correctly.
• Poor connections or corrosion at the sensor harness.
• Mechanical problems with the rocker arms or valve timing mechanism.

How to fix P267D?

• Inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the rocker arm actuator position sensor for damage or corrosion.
• Measure the voltage and resistance at the sensor to ensure it operates within specifications.
• Replace the rocker arm actuator position sensor if it is faulty.
• Check and adjust the timing mechanism if any mechanical issues are detected.
• Clear the fault code and test drive the vehicle to confirm the issue is resolved.
