P06D5 Sensor Reference Voltage E Circuit Range/Performance
Check engine lightOn
EmissionsRelevant
Drive cycleNot required
Limp modePossible
The engine module feeds sensors from several regulated 5 V reference circuits; a short at one sensor pulls the whole circuit down and all its sensors report at once – unplug them one by one to find the culprit. P06D5 is the range/performance check of reference circuit E. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code; the description follows the other reference circuits. Ford checks circuits A–C this way (below 4.7 V or above 5.2 V, 0.5 s).
Likely causes
Short in the wire or sensor of a connected sensor
Chafing or water in harness or connector
A connected sensor faulty internally
Module internal voltage regulator or components
Symptoms
- Check engine light
- Several sensor codes at once
- Reduced power or limp mode
- Possibly starting problems
