What it means
Fuel-level sensor B reads below lower plausibility — short to ground. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
How it works
Fuel level sensor B is the secondary sender used on some vehicles to measure a saddle tank or auxiliary tank. The control module monitors the sender's signal circuit. P2067 sets when that signal is lower than expected, which can be caused by a short to ground or a connection fault.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Short to ground
- Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Harness chafing through insulation
Symptoms
- Check-engine light
- Fuel gauge may read inaccurately or erratically
- Low-fuel warning may not reflect the actual fuel level
How to diagnose it
- Record freeze-frame data and check for related fuel sender codes to establish whether sensor B's low reading is persistent or intermittent.
- Compare the fuel gauge and sensor B scan-tool reading with the actual fuel level, if available.
- Inspect sensor B's connector and harness for chafing, damaged insulation, moisture, corrosion or loose terminals.
- Use the manufacturer's wiring diagram to test the signal circuit for a short to ground and check connector continuity.
- If the circuit checks out, test fuel level sensor B for an internal fault using the manufacturer's procedure.
Common fixes
- Repair chafed sensor B wiring that is shorting to ground.
- Clean and secure corroded or loose terminals at the secondary sender.
- Replace a damaged connector or harness section.
- Replace fuel level sensor B if testing confirms its output is faulty.
Can I keep driving?
The vehicle is generally safe to drive, but sensor B may cause an inaccurate gauge or low-fuel warning. Keep a generous reserve and refuel early until the circuit is repaired.
A code shows where the control module detected a fault, not always which part failed. Check the causes in order and confirm with a test before replacing parts. Have several codes? Check them together
