P011D Charge Air Cooler Temperature/Intake Air Temperature Correlation Bank 2

Check engine lightOn
EmissionsRelevant
Drive cycleRequired
Limp modeNo

This is the bank 2 counterpart of P011C and only exists on engines with two separate intake paths, each with its own charge air cooler temperature sensor and intake air temperature sensor – for example V engines with twin turbochargers and separate charge air coolers. After a long standstill both bank 2 sensors should read nearly the same; if they disagree at start-up, without either showing a circuit fault, P011D is set. The code does not identify which sensor is wrong. No manufacturer document using exactly this code was found; the check follows the same principle Ford uses for bank 1 after 6 hours, with a preheater suspending it.

Likely causes

Bank 2 charge air cooler temperature sensor drifting, oily or stuck
Bank 2 intake air temperature sensor drifting
Contact resistance at connector or ground
Undetected preheating or uneven cooling

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Usually no change in driving
  • Code often returns only after an overnight soak
