P267A"B" Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit (Bank 2)
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Continuously variable lift systems turn a control or eccentric shaft with an electric motor and report the shaft angle back to the engine controller. On V engines each cylinder bank has its own mechanism; Nissan's VVEL on the VQ37VHR V6 and VK50VE V8 is an example of such a two-bank layout. P267A is the unspecific circuit fault of feedback sensor B on bank 2: the signal is unusable, but the controller does not classify it as too low or too high. No manufacturer documents P267A publicly; Toyota's bulletins use the B sensor letter only for its inline Valvematic engines and code P265B. CARB requires electrical checks on every input of a lift system. Expect connector, supply or ground problems first; P267B to P267E name more specific failure patterns.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on

- Reduced power or rough idle
- Likely causes
- LikelyLoose, corroded or damaged plug at the bank 2 position sensor
- PossibleBroken or chafed signal, reference or ground wire
- PossibleInternal fault of position sensor B, bank 2
- RareFault in the engine or lift control module input
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
