P2675 code meaning
Air Cleaner Inlet Control Circuit/Open
What P2675 means
Some engines can change where the air cleaner draws its air, for example switching between a cold inlet at the front and a second opening in the engine bay, with a flap or valve moved by a solenoid or small motor. P2675 is the open or general circuit fault of this control: the module driving the flap detects that its output line carries no current or reports a fault it cannot classify further. No manufacturer documents P2675 publicly. Ford's 2014 gasoline code list contains only the low and high variants P2676 and P2677, both as continuous tests without MIL, which suggests the open case is treated inside those codes there. CARB demands circuit checks on outputs that can influence emissions. The flap then stays wherever it stopped.
P2675 at a glance
- Check engine lightUsually not
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyEasy, DIY possible
- Typical labor0.3 to 1.5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P2675
- Warning light or stored code, often without MIL
- Inlet flap no longer switches
- Usually no noticeable change in driving
Common causes of P2675
- Most likelyConnector at the inlet flap actuator loose or unplugged, often after air filter service
- PossibleBroken wire in the actuator circuit
- PossibleOpen coil or motor winding in the flap actuator
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2675 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 6 | Area: computer (engine control module) and output circuits. |
| 75 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2675 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 P2675
What does P2675 mean?
P2675 means "Air Cleaner Inlet Control Circuit/Open". Some engines can change where the air cleaner draws its air, for example switching between a cold inlet at the front and a second opening in the engine bay, with a flap or valve moved by a solenoid or small motor. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2675?
P2675 does not normally turn on the check engine light by itself. Watch for the symptoms above and have it checked soon.
Will P2675 fail an emissions test?
P2675 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 P2675 to fix?
Difficulty: easy. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 1.5 hours of work. A careful DIY repair is possible with basic tools and a scanner.
Will P2675 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
