Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent or Erratic Bank 2 Sensor 4
Same as P242E on bank 2 sensor 4. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Egt sensor b2s4
Common causes
- High likelihood: Intermittent contact at connector
- Low likelihood: Connector with intermittent contact under vibration
- Low likelihood: Harness routed against vibrating component
