P247A - OBD Trouble Code

<<See All OBD Codes

Are you experiencing engine stalling or no start condition? Did you recently face a exhaust leakage? If your answer is YES, then chances are pretty high that your vehicle is set to OBD error code P247A. This error code is set up due to number of causes that we have listed out in the subsequent sections for you.

OBD error code P247A will be set by your vehicle’s PCM when it detects an incorrect signal. Your car’s pcm is responsible for monitoring the egt sensor and to make sure that the circuit and range values are within the specifications. It will set this error code P247A, when it detects that exhaust gas temperature bank 1 sensor 3 is out of range. To know more about few of it’s common causes, take a look at the section below.

What causes this problem with the Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range Bank 1 Sensor 3?

• Malfunctioning exhaust gas temperature sensor bank 1 sensor 3
• Open or shorted EGT sensor bank 1 sensor 3 harness
• Poor electrical connection for the EGT sensor bank 1 sensor 3
• Leaking exhaust
• Carbon buildup on the sensor

1. Powertrain Control Module - Faulty PCM? Well, we suggest you to repair it at the earliest as this will cause the system to store wrong OBD error and thus can lead to misdiagnosis. If you need one for your vehicle, you can find one with us.
2. Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor - This is one of most important gauges on a turbo-diesel-powered vehicle and you can’t really go a long way with a defective one. You can buy one with us for all make and models on the Canadian road.
3. Diesel Particulate Filter - As we all know that the diesel particulate filters and other related parts are responsible for filtering the harmful carbon particulates produced in the combustion, so you definitely can’t go with a wrong one. Replace the faulty ones today and say bye bye to OBD error code P247A.
4. Engine Control Module - Having problems with your car’s engine control module, also known as the ECM is rare, but if you happen to face it then its recommended to undergo a complete reprogramming of the system to avoid wrong codes from getting stored in the system, leading to misdiagnosis. Replace the damaged ones with us today.
5. Engine Control Unit - Defective engine control units can cause issues like fall in fuel efficiency and poor engine performance. If you want to get rid of these errors, then replace that faulty ECU today.

Here are some steps which you should follow in order to diagnose this fault code:

To start with your diagnosis of OBD error code P247A, you will need to look for the technical service bulletins, also known as the TSB’s specific to your vehicle make model and year. Believe us this will save you a lot of time and will guide you in the right direction.

Next step in your diagnosis step is to find and locate all the parts within the exhaust gas temperature circuit and undergo a complete visual inspection to make sure there are no defects such as scraping, rubbing, bare wires or burn spots.

Now, inspect all the related connectors for any corrosion or defective pins. For those who don’t know this already, the exhaust gas temperature sensor is generally a 2-wire sensor located in your vehicle’s exhaust down pipe.

Remove the exhaust gas temperature and check for any carbon buildup. Also, check for any fuel injector or exhaust leakage.

Common Mistakes When Diagnosing The P247A Code

If you are going to diagnose your vehicle for OBD error code P247A, then make sure that you avoid the following errors

• Problematic exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor
• Problematic powertrain control module (PCM)
• Problematic wiring
