What Does P267B Mean?
The rocker arm actuator position sensor on Bank 2 (side opposite cylinder #1) is reporting values outside expected parameters during variable valve timing operation. This indicates the PCM is receiving sensor data that doesn't correlate with commanded actuator position.
Common Causes
35%
Faulty rocker arm actuator position sensor
30%
Mechanical wear or failure of the rocker arm actuator mechanism
20%
Low engine oil level or incorrect oil viscosity affecting actuator operation
10%
Wiring harness damage or connector corrosion at sensor
5%
PCM software issue or calibration error
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check engine oil level and condition; verify proper viscosity specification for VVT operation
2
Step 2: Inspect wiring harness and connector at Bank 2 rocker arm actuator position sensor for damage or corrosion
3
Step 3: Monitor sensor live data during engine operation to observe actual vs commanded position values
4
Step 4: Remove valve cover and inspect rocker arm actuator for mechanical binding, wear, or oil passage blockage
5
Step 5: Test sensor resistance and voltage output according to manufacturer specifications; replace if out of range
Estimated Repair Cost
$250 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The rocker arm actuator position sensor on Bank 2 (side opposite cylinder #1) is reporting values outside expected parameters during variable valve timing operation. This indicates the PCM is receiving sensor data that doesn't correlate with commanded actuator position.
The most common cause of P267B (B Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2) is: Faulty rocker arm actuator position sensor
Typical repair costs for P267B range from $250 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle is generally safe to drive but may experience reduced power, poor fuel economy, and rough idle. Extended operation may cause catalytic converter damage due to improper combustion.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P267B to identify the root cause.
