P2467
Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2 Sensor 3
Exhaust temperature / emissions
Generic OBD-II
Medium
What it means
P2467 means the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor at bank 2, sensor 3 is reporting a temperature that does not match what the ECM expects for the current conditions. EGT sensors protect the turbo and particulate filter and control regeneration on diesels. The signal is present but implausible, usually from an aging sensor, a wiring issue, or a nearby exhaust leak.
Medium
Can I keep driving? Usually yes — the car drives, but on diesels a faulty EGT sensor can block particulate-filter regeneration, so fix it before the filter clogs.
Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Check-engine light on
- On diesels, incomplete or skipped particulate-filter regeneration
- Possible reduced power or limp mode on some vehicles
- Higher exhaust emissions
Common causes
Most likely first
- Aged or contaminated EGT sensor reading out of its expected rangeLikely
- Poor connector contact or chafed wiring at the sensorCommon
- Exhaust leak near the sensor skewing the temperature readingCommon
- ECM fault (least common)Less often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Scan and read freeze-frame data to capture the conditions.
- Compare all EGT sensor live readings at a cold start — they should all read close to ambient temperature.
- Inspect the bank 2, sensor 3 connector and wiring, and check for exhaust leaks nearby.
- Replace the EGT sensor if it reads implausibly versus the others.
- Clear the code and re-test; consider the ECM only after wiring and sensor check good.
FAQ
Quick answers
Is it safe to drive with P2467?+
Short term, usually yes. The main risk is on diesels, where the ECM may stop running particulate-filter regeneration and the filter can slowly clog. Repair it before that becomes a costly problem.
Can I just clear P2467?+
You can, but a drifting or miswired sensor will set it again. Diagnose the sensor and its circuit first.
