P1367 Code Description
The diagnostic code P1367 (DTC) indicates that the Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor 2 is not sending a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The TDC sensor is responsible for detecting the position of the crankshaft relative to the top dead center position of cylinder number one. This information is crucial for the ECM to accurately control ignition timing and fuel injection. When the TDC sensor 2 fails to send a signal, it can lead to misfires, poor engine performance, and potential engine damage over time.
Common Causes of P1367
NOTE: The listed causes may not be a complete list of all potential issues, and there could be other causes.
- Faulty TDC sensor 2
- Damaged wiring or connectors leading to the sensor
- ECM malfunction
- Incorrect sensor installation
- Engine overheating damaging the sensor
Symptoms of P1367
- Engine misfires or rough idling
- Difficulty starting the engine
- Decreased fuel efficiency
- Engine stalling
- Illumination of the check engine light
How to Fix P1367
- Start by diagnosing the issue using a scan tool to confirm the P1367 code and locate the faulty TDC sensor 2.
- Locate the TDC sensor 2, typically mounted on the engine block near the crankshaft.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for any damage or corrosion. Repair or replace as needed.
- Replace the faulty TDC sensor 2 with a new OEM-quality sensor.
- Clear the DTC with the scan tool and test the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved.
