What Does P267E Mean?
The rocker arm actuator position sensor on Bank 2 is providing inconsistent or erratic signal readings that fluctuate unexpectedly. This intermittent fault suggests a loose connection, damaged wiring, or failing sensor.
Common Causes
35%
Loose or corroded sensor connector causing intermittent contact
30%
Damaged wiring harness with intermittent short or open
20%
Failing rocker arm actuator position sensor with internal degradation
10%
Water or oil contamination in connector causing erratic signals
5%
Vibration-induced sensor or mounting bracket failure
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Thoroughly inspect sensor connector for corrosion, loose pins, or contamination; clean with electrical contact cleaner
2
Step 2: Wiggle test wiring harness while monitoring live sensor data to reproduce intermittent fault
3
Step 3: Inspect wiring harness routing for areas where it may contact hot surfaces or moving parts
4
Step 4: Remove valve cover and inspect sensor mounting for looseness or vibration damage
5
Step 5: Monitor sensor voltage with oscilloscope during engine operation to identify signal dropouts or noise
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $900
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The rocker arm actuator position sensor on Bank 2 is providing inconsistent or erratic signal readings that fluctuate unexpectedly. This intermittent fault suggests a loose connection, damaged wiring, or failing sensor.
The most common cause of P267E (B Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent/Erratic Bank 2) is: Loose or corroded sensor connector causing intermittent contact
Typical repair costs for P267E range from $150 to $900, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Safe to drive but may experience intermittent rough running, hesitation, or stalling. Performance and fuel economy will be degraded.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P267E to identify the root cause.
