P247E 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 exhaust gas temperature sensor
- Exhaust leaks
- Excessive particulate accumulation on the sensor
How to Fix Code P247E
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.

Check engine light illuminated (or service engine soon warning light)
P247E 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 upstream of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and/or upstream 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 P247E when the exhaust gas temperature sensor is outside factory specifications.
