P2267

Easy (DIY)

Water in Fuel Sensor Circuit High

What Does P2267 Mean?

The water-in-fuel sensor circuit voltage is reading above the normal operating range. This typically indicates an open circuit, high resistance in the wiring, or a sensor that has failed in an open state.

Common Causes

35%

Open circuit in sensor wiring due to broken wire or poor connection

Sensor Wiring
Wiring Harness

30%

Failed water-in-fuel sensor with open internal circuit

Water-in-Fuel Sensor

20%

Corroded or loose sensor connector pins creating high resistance

Sensor Connector
Connector Terminals

10%

Damaged or disconnected sensor ground circuit

Ground Wire
Ground Connection

5%

Sensor not properly installed or loose in fuel filter housing

Sensor Mounting
Fuel Filter Assembly

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect sensor connector for loose, corroded, or pushed-back pins affecting connection

2

Step 2: Check continuity of sensor signal wire from connector to PCM looking for breaks

3

Step 3: Verify sensor is properly seated and torqued in the fuel filter housing

4

Step 4: Measure sensor resistance and compare to specifications with sensor removed

5

Step 5: Test voltage supply to sensor from PCM to verify proper reference voltage present

Estimated Repair Cost

$85 - $360

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2267 mean?

The water-in-fuel sensor circuit voltage is reading above the normal operating range. This typically indicates an open circuit, high resistance in the wiring, or a sensor that has failed in an open state.

What causes P2267?

The most common cause of P2267 (Water in Fuel Sensor Circuit High) is: Open circuit in sensor wiring due to broken wire or poor connection

How much does it cost to fix P2267?

Typical repair costs for P2267 range from $85 to $360, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2267?

Safe to drive but water contamination detection is not functional. Without working sensor, fuel system damage from water contamination could occur without warning.

How do I diagnose P2267?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2267 to identify the root cause.
