P2894: Cylinder 2 Ion Current Sense Circuit

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P28xx codes

What does P2894 mean?

The ECM cannot read a valid ion current signal from cylinder 2. Ion current sensing relies on the spark plug acting as an electrode after combustion.

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

Common causes

  • High Ion sense module failed
  • Medium Wiring or connector fault
