P2BDF
Motor Electronics Coolant Temperature Sensor C Circuit High
What it means
P2BDF means Motor Electronics Coolant Temperature Sensor C Circuit High.
Where it lives
For P2BDF, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P2BDF reports a fault at the sensor.
Check these first
- An open in the coolant temperature sensor C signal circuit
- A failed sensor C left with a fixed high resistance
- A disconnected or backed out sensor C connector
- Corrosion raising resistance in the sensor C terminals
What to do next
- Read coolant temperature sensor C voltage on a scan tool
- Check the sensor C connector for a full seat
- Test the sensor C circuit for an open
- Measure sensor C resistance across a temperature sweep
- Replace coolant temperature sensor C if the circuit tests good
- Clear the code and retest
