What Does P267D Mean?
The rocker arm actuator position sensor circuit on Bank 2 is reading abnormally high voltage, above the expected maximum threshold. This electrical fault indicates an open circuit or loss of ground in the sensor circuit.
Common Causes
35%
Open circuit in sensor wiring harness or broken wire
30%
Failed rocker arm actuator position sensor (internal open)
20%
Disconnected or loose sensor connector
10%
Poor ground connection at sensor or PCM
5%
Damaged connector pins causing intermittent contact
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Visually inspect sensor connector for proper engagement and damaged/backed-out pins
2
Step 2: Disconnect sensor and measure reference voltage at harness connector (should read ~5V with key on)
3
Step 3: Test sensor resistance with sensor disconnected; compare to specifications
4
Step 4: Check continuity of signal and ground wires from sensor connector to PCM
5
Step 5: Verify ground circuit integrity by measuring voltage drop between sensor ground and battery negative
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $800
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The rocker arm actuator position sensor circuit on Bank 2 is reading abnormally high voltage, above the expected maximum threshold. This electrical fault indicates an open circuit or loss of ground in the sensor circuit.
The most common cause of P267D (B Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit High Bank 2) is: Open circuit in sensor wiring harness or broken wire
Typical repair costs for P267D range from $150 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle remains safe to drive but may exhibit reduced power, rough idle, and poor fuel economy. Extended operation risks catalytic converter damage.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P267D to identify the root cause.
