Posted by

P2468 Possible Causes

  • Faulty Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGTS), Bank 2 Sensor 3
  • Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor, Bank 2 Sensor 3 harness is open or short-circuited
  • Poor electrical connection in Bank 2 Sensor 3 circuit of the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Excessive particle buildup on the sensor

How to Fix Code P2468

Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and related connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

P2468 Meaning

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) continuously monitors the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGTS) for proper circuit continuity and out-of-range high values. The EGTS is located in front of the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and/or in front of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The EGTS detects exhaust gas temperature and converts it to voltage, sending it back to the PCM with the voltage signal to control engine conditions for effective emission reduction. The PCM sets OBDII code P2468 when the exhaust gas temperature sensor is outside factory specifications.
