P247D

Moderate

Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range Bank 2 Sensor 2

What Does P247D Mean?

The exhaust gas temperature at Bank 2, Sensor 2 (post-catalyst or pre-DPF on Bank 2) is out of range. This sensor monitors catalyst efficiency and DPF conditions for the second cylinder bank.

Common Causes

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Compare Bank 2 Sensor 2 with Sensor 1 to evaluate catalyst temperature efficiency

2

Step 2: Cross-reference Bank 2 temperatures with Bank 1 equivalent sensors for system balance

3

Step 3: Inspect exhaust system on Bank 2 for leaks between sensor locations

4

Step 4: Test sensor electrical properties and validate readings with infrared thermometer

5

Step 5: Assess catalyst efficiency using temperature differential and O2 sensor data

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $1,400

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P247D mean?

The exhaust gas temperature at Bank 2, Sensor 2 (post-catalyst or pre-DPF on Bank 2) is out of range. This sensor monitors catalyst efficiency and DPF conditions for the second cylinder bank.

What causes P247D?

The most common cause of P247D (Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range Bank 2 Sensor 2) is: Defective EGT sensor at Bank 2 Sensor 2 position

How much does it cost to fix P247D?

Typical repair costs for P247D range from $200 to $1,400, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P247D?

Safe for short-term operation but requires attention. Catalyst or DPF failure can lead to reduced performance and expensive component damage if neglected.

How do I diagnose P247D?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P247D to identify the root cause.
