Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Bank 2 Sensor 5

Where it lives

For P2487, the sensor sits on the circuit this code reports. The description of P2487 puts it on bank 2.

Check these first

• A sensor 5 signal wire shorted to voltage on bank 2
• A failed exhaust gas temperature sensor reading hot
• A bank 2 exhaust restriction
• High resistance in the sensor 5 ground

What to do next

1. Read exhaust gas temperature sensor bank 2 sensor 5 on a scan tool
2. Test the sensor 5 signal wire for a short to voltage
3. Check the sensor 5 ground for high resistance
4. Inspect the bank 2 exhaust for a restriction
5. Replace the exhaust gas temperature sensor if the circuit tests good
6. Clear the code and retest
