P2287Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2287 covers an ICP sensor signal that drops out or jumps for brief moments, too short or too irregular to be judged as a steady low or high fault. No manufacturer documents P2287 publicly; Ford's 6.0L summaries and its 2014 PCM table contain the steady electrical codes P2285 and P2286 but not this one. On HEUI diesels the sensor is mounted on the engine in a hot, oily environment, so oil creeping into the connector, fretting terminals and harness rubbing are the usual reasons for an unstable signal. Since the PCM regulates high-pressure oil from this reading, short dropouts can make the engine stumble or surge before a substitute value takes over. CARB counts such inputs among the components whose circuit faults must be monitored.
