P2287 covers an ICP sensor signal that drops out or jumps for brief moments, too short or too irregular to be judged as a steady low or high fault. No manufacturer documents P2287 publicly; Ford's 6.0L summaries and its 2014 PCM table contain the steady electrical codes P2285 and P2286 but not this one. On HEUI diesels the sensor is mounted on the engine in a hot, oily environment, so oil creeping into the connector, fretting terminals and harness rubbing are the usual reasons for an unstable signal. Since the PCM regulates high-pressure oil from this reading, short dropouts can make the engine stumble or surge before a substitute value takes over. CARB counts such inputs among the components whose circuit faults must be monitored.

Likely causes

Engine oil creeping into the sensor connector
Fretting or loose terminals at sensor or PCM
Harness rubbing on engine parts and shorting briefly

Symptoms

  • Occasional stumble, surge or hesitation
  • Code returns without a fault visible in the workshop
