P2D8F: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch C Circuit Low

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Dxx codes

What does P2D8F mean?

The ECM detects a circuit low fault on the engine oil pressure sensor/switch c circuit. Reading cannot be used reliably for control.

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

Common causes

  • High Signal wire shorted to ground
  • Medium Internal sensor short
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

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

Add your car to see reports of P2D8F on the same make and model first.
