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
30%
Failed water-in-fuel sensor with open internal circuit
20%
Corroded or loose sensor connector pins creating high resistance
10%
Damaged or disconnected sensor ground circuit
5%
Sensor not properly installed or loose in fuel filter housing
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
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
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.
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
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.
Safe to drive but water contamination detection is not functional. Without working sensor, fuel system damage from water contamination could occur without warning.
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.
