P2EB0Throttle Valve Intake Air Pressure Sensor Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2EB0 concerns the sensor that measures air pressure at the inlet of the throttle valve, i.e. between charger or air filter and throttle. On turbo engines this is the reading Ford calls TIP and GM TIAP; both makers, however, report faults of that sensor under the boost sensor codes P0236–P0238, and no manufacturer documents P2EB0 publicly. Ford's gasoline summary shows how widely the value is used: its PCV monitor P2282 needs a healthy TIP sensor before it runs. Bosch's comparable sensor sends pressure and temperature either on two analogue lines or digitally over a single SENT line, where garbled or missing messages would fit a general circuit code like this one. Low and high faults are P2EB1 and P2EB2.
- What you may notice
- Check engine lamp on
- Reduced boost or hesitant acceleration if a substitute value is used
- Other air system checks such as the PCV monitor may not run
- Likely causes
- LikelyLoose, corroded or oil-wetted connector at the sensor
- PossibleIntermittent break in signal, reference or ground wire
- PossibleFailed sensor electronics, e.g. SENT output
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Easy · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €60 – €350
