This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the computer in your car thinks there's a problem with the sensor that measures the pressure in cylinder number 10. It thinks the sensor is not sending enough information.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a low voltage signal from the pressure sensor in cylinder 10, indicating a potential issue with the sensor or its circuit.
The P2354 code is triggered when the ECM receives a signal from the cylinder 10 pressure sensor that is below the expected range. This could be due to a malfunctioning sensor, wiring issues, or a problem with the ECM itself.
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Engine misfire
• Poor engine performance
• Increased fuel consumption
• Faulty cylinder 10 pressure sensor
• Wiring issues such as open or short circuits
• Poor electrical connections in the sensor circuit
• Faulty ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls engine functions.
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a system that monitors vehicle performance.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for cylinder 10 pressure sensor.
• Test the sensor with a multimeter for proper function.
• Check the ECM for faults.
• Replace the cylinder 10 pressure sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
• Replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Ford F-150
• Chevrolet Silverado
• Dodge Ram
• Regularly inspect and maintain engine sensors.
• Ensure electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Perform routine engine diagnostics.
Sensor Issue
• Have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue.
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved to prevent further damage.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer to see if the sensor is covered under warranty.
This code has been associated with sensor failures and wiring issues in various vehicle models.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be drivable, it is important to address the issue to prevent further engine damage.
Driving with a malfunctioning sensor can lead to decreased engine performance and increased emissions, which may not comply with local regulations.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle stationary and in park
The cylinder 10 pressure sensor is typically located on the engine block, near cylinder 10.
Q: Can I drive with a P2354 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active as it can lead to poor engine performance and potential damage.
Q: How can I reset the P2354 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is resolved, the code should not return.

Fitment Required · Vehicle-fitment part
Relevant when the fault points toward ignition-coil performance or cylinder-specific ignition issues.
Some ignition faults involve coil performance or cylinder-specific coil problems.
Match the coil to your engine and confirm the failed component before ordering.
View options on AmazonThese parts may be related to this fault category, but a code by itself does not confirm exact fitment or guarantee that replacing a part will solve the problem.
