Standardized SAE J2012 code · P28xx codes

What does P2867 mean?

Shift fork E position signal drops out intermittently. Loose connector or vibration-sensitive wiring.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Common causes

  • High Connector not seated
  • Medium Harness chafing intermittently shorts the wire
  • Low Connector with intermittent contact under vibration

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
