What P248E means

P248E
EGR Cooler Bypass Control Circuit/Open Bank 2 Generic · emissions Data confidence 65%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the EGR Cooler Bypass Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Symptoms

  • MIL illuminated
  • Possible reduced engine performance
  • Possible rough idle or hesitation

Possible causes

  • Carbon-blocked EGR passages
  • Sticking or slow EGR valve
  • EGR actuator or position sensor fault
  • Wiring or connector fault
  • Vacuum supply fault (vacuum-operated systems)

Recommended checks

  • Read freeze frame data and full module scan
  • Check battery voltage and sensor supply
  • Inspect EGR wiring and connectors
  • Compare commanded vs actual EGR position/flow with live data
  • Inspect EGR valve and passages for carbon build-up
  • Check related vacuum lines where fitted

Frequently asked questions about P248E

What does P248E mean?

EGR Cooler Bypass Control Circuit/Open Bank 2. The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the EGR Cooler Bypass Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Is P248E generic or manufacturer-specific?

P248E is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove P248E at file level?

If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
