P28BB: Cylinder 11 Ion Current Sense Circuit High

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P28xx codes

What does P28BB mean?

Ion current from cylinder 11 is above the expected window. Cross-coupled signal, biased reference, or sensor fault.

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

Common causes

  • High Inductive cross-coupling from ignition coil primary
  • Medium Sense reference voltage biased
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

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