This code means there's a problem with a sensor that helps control parts of the engine. It's like if a toy robot's arm doesn't move the way it's supposed to because something is wrong with the remote control.
The P267B code indicates an issue with the rocker arm actuator position sensor on bank 2 of the engine. This sensor helps control the movement of the engine's valves.
The rocker arm actuator position sensor monitors the position of the rocker arm actuator. If the sensor's signal is out of the expected range or performance specifications, the engine control module (ECM) will set the P267B code. This typically affects the bank 2 side of the engine, which is the side opposite the number one cylinder.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Engine may run rough
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Faulty rocker arm actuator position sensor
• Wiring issues or poor connection in the sensor circuit
• Faulty ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls engine functions.
Bank 2: The side of the engine opposite the number one cylinder.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Test the rocker arm actuator position sensor for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the rocker arm actuator position sensor if faulty.
• Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Honda Accord
• Toyota Camry
• Ford F-150
• Regularly inspect and maintain engine components.
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion.
• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Have a professional diagnose and repair the issue to avoid further engine damage.
Check if the vehicle is under warranty for powertrain components, which may cover this repair.
This code has been reported in various models, often related to wear and tear or electrical issues.
Moderate – Should be addressed soon to prevent potential engine damage.
Driving with a malfunctioning engine sensor can lead to increased emissions and may not comply with local emissions regulations.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle parked on a level surface
The rocker arm actuator position sensor is typically located on the cylinder head of the engine, on bank 2.
Q: Can I drive with a P267B code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for extended periods with this code as it may lead to engine performance issues.
Q: How can I reset the Check Engine Light?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue persists, the light may come back on.
