What P2367 means
With P2367 the cylinder 12 pressure signal is electrically within its limits but makes no sense for the operating point. A natural yardstick is the motored cycle: on deceleration nothing burns, so the curve has to peak at top dead centre. Saab's 9-5 diesel uses exactly this peak position to locate true TDC and keeps in EEPROM how far the crank trigger wheel sits off its nominal angle – which shows how closely the ECM follows each sensor. A sensor whose peak shifts, whose zero has drifted or whose seat lets gas escape would fail such a check. No manufacturer documents P2367, because no twelve-cylinder engine with this sensor is public; the cylinder-1 equivalent is P0396. In most cases only the warning lamp is noticed.
P2367 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.5 to 4 hours
- Clears after repairAfter a drive cycle
Symptoms of P2367
- Check engine light on
- Implausible peak pressure value for cylinder 12 compared with the others
Common causes of P2367
- Most likelySensor zero point or gain drifted
- PossibleCombustion gas escaping at the glow plug seat
- Less likelyGlow plug of a different calibration fitted
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2367 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 3 | Area: ignition system or misfire. |
| 67 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2367 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 P2367
What does P2367 mean?
P2367 means "Cylinder 12 Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance". With P2367 the cylinder 12 pressure signal is electrically within its limits but makes no sense for the operating point. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2367?
Usually yes, for a short time, if the check engine light is steady and the car drives normally. If the light flashes or the car runs badly, stop and have it checked.
Will P2367 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2367 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P2367 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 4 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2367 clear itself after the repair?
After the repair the car has to complete a drive cycle (a mix of city and highway driving) before the test runs again. Until then the readiness monitor shows "not ready", which can fail an inspection.
