Charge Air Cooler Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Bank 2

Charge air cooler temperature sensor signal voltage on bank 2 below expected range. Typically a short to ground. 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
  • Sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Signal wire shorted to ground
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation

Diagnostic notes

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