P2267 code meaning
Water in Fuel Sensor A Circuit High
What P2267 means
P2267 reports that the signal of water-in-fuel sensor A sits above its valid range, which usually indicates an open signal or ground path, a disconnected sensor or a short to a voltage source. Stellantis has a case file for 2025 and 2026 Ram 2500 to 5500 trucks with the Cummins 6.7L: after the fuel filter module has been drained, the warning lamp may stay on with P2267 and P2269. Instead of replacing parts, technicians drain both filter stages, remove the sensor, wipe residue off its probes, refit it at 3 Nm and prime the system with the lift pump. That points to the sensor reacting to leftover contamination as well as to wiring. P2266 is the low-side counterpart, P2268 the intermittent version.
P2267 at a glance
- Check engine lightUsually not
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyEasy, DIY possible
- Typical labor0.3 to 1 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P2267
- Water-in-fuel lamp stays on after draining
- Often appears together with P2269
Common causes of P2267
- Most likelyResidual contamination on the probes after draining the filter
- PossibleUnplugged sensor or open signal or ground wire
- Less likelySignal wire shorted to a supply voltage
- Less likelyDefective water-in-fuel sensor
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2267 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 2 | Area: fuel and air metering (injector circuit). |
| 67 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2267 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P2267
What does P2267 mean?
P2267 means "Water in Fuel Sensor A Circuit High". P2267 reports that the signal of water-in-fuel sensor A sits above its valid range, which usually indicates an open signal or ground path, a disconnected sensor or a short to a voltage source. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2267?
P2267 does not normally turn on the check engine light by itself. Watch for the symptoms above and have it checked soon.
Will P2267 fail an emissions test?
P2267 is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is P2267 to fix?
Difficulty: easy. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 1 hours of work. A careful DIY repair is possible with basic tools and a scanner.
Will P2267 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
