This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This means that a sensor in the car's exhaust system isn't working right. It's like a thermometer that helps the car know how hot the exhaust is, and it's not reading correctly.
The exhaust gas temperature sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust gases to help control emissions and protect engine components. This code indicates the sensor is not performing within its expected range.
The P2467 code is triggered when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a problem with the exhaust gas temperature sensor circuit for Bank 2 Sensor 3. This sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the exhaust gases to ensure they are within a specific range, which is crucial for optimal engine performance and emission control.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor fuel efficiency
• Increased emissions
• Faulty exhaust gas temperature sensor
• Wiring or connector issues in the sensor circuit
• Exhaust leaks affecting sensor readings
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics II
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage
• Test the exhaust gas temperature sensor for proper operation
• Replace the faulty exhaust gas temperature sensor
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors
• Fix any exhaust leaks
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Volkswagen Passat
• Audi A4
• BMW 3 Series
• Regularly inspect exhaust system components
• Ensure proper maintenance of the vehicle
• Use high-quality fuel to prevent sensor contamination
Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if you are not comfortable with car repairs
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light as it may lead to more severe issues
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on emission-related components.
This code has been more prevalent in vehicles with higher mileage or those that have not been maintained regularly.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to prevent potential damage to the engine or exhaust system.
Driving with a malfunctioning exhaust sensor can lead to increased emissions, which may not comply with local environmental regulations.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle in a safe, stationary position
The sensor is located in the exhaust system, typically after the catalytic converter on Bank 2.
Q: Can I drive with a P2467 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for extended periods with this code, as it may lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
Q: How do I know if the sensor is faulty?
A: A diagnostic scan and physical inspection of the sensor and its wiring can help determine if the sensor is faulty.

Fitment Required · Vehicle-fitment part
Relevant when catalyst-efficiency or emissions faults persist after proper diagnosis.
Catalyst-efficiency faults sometimes point toward converter problems after proper testing.
Catalytic converters are highly vehicle-specific and should not be purchased by code alone.
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.
