What Does P267A Mean?
The Bank 2 rocker arm actuator position sensor circuit has a fault. This sensor monitors the position of variable valve timing rocker arm actuators in engines with cylinder deactivation or variable valve lift systems.
Common Causes
35%
Failed rocker arm actuator position sensor
25%
Damaged or disconnected sensor wiring or connector
20%
Low engine oil level or pressure affecting actuator operation
15%
Failed rocker arm actuator solenoid or mechanical failure
5%
ECM sensor circuit failure
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check engine oil level and condition; top off if low and verify proper viscosity
2
Step 2: Locate Bank 2 rocker arm actuator position sensor and inspect connector and wiring
3
Step 3: Measure sensor reference voltage and ground with key on; should be approximately 5 volts
4
Step 4: Check sensor signal voltage while commanding actuator operation with scan tool
5
Step 5: If sensor signal is erratic or missing, replace sensor; if good, test actuator operation mechanically
Estimated Repair Cost
$300 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The Bank 2 rocker arm actuator position sensor circuit has a fault. This sensor monitors the position of variable valve timing rocker arm actuators in engines with cylinder deactivation or variable valve lift systems.
The most common cause of P267A (B Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit Bank 2) is: Failed rocker arm actuator position sensor
Typical repair costs for P267A range from $300 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle is safe to drive but may experience reduced fuel economy and performance. Cylinder deactivation system may be disabled.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P267A to identify the root cause.
