Charge Air Cooler Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2

CAC temperature sensor reading on bank 2 implausible. Same as P007B on bank 2. 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

  • Cac temperature sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Sensor reading drifted
  • Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
  • Low likelihood: Sensor mounting loose - signal damping

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
