P2CEEParticulate Filter Pressure Sensor D Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- How the car detects it
- P2CEE stands for brief dropouts or jumps in the sensor D signal that do not last long enough for the low or high codes. Ford's 2024–25 petrol summary includes it in the continuous analog check of its gasoline particulate filter sensors, about 5 s to register, with no separate threshold given. Ford also lists P2CEE in bulletin 20-2257: 2019–2020 F-150 trucks with the 2.7L EcoBoost built up to 4 July 2020 could light the MIL with this and ten other codes because of PCM software, and the fix was a PCM reprogram (0.3 h labour). So before chasing wiring on such a truck, check the software level. Otherwise the usual reasons are a terminal losing contact under vibration, a chafing harness or moisture in the plug. Sensor C has the matching code P2CE9.
- What you may notice
- Warning lamp on, sometimes only now and then
- Pressure value of sensor D jumps in live data
- Possibly stored together with other, unrelated codes after a software issue
- Likely causes
- LikelyLoose or corroded terminal in the sensor D connector
- PossiblePCM software setting the code falsely (Ford bulletin 20-2257, F-150 2.7L)
- PossibleHarness to sensor D chafed or intermittently shorted
- RareIntermittent internal fault of sensor D
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
