P0667
PCM/ECM/TCM Internal Temperature Sensor Range/Performance
- Severity
- Medium
- Driving
- Drivable — book it in
The module's internal temperature sensor is answering, but the value is not plausible - it does not change as the module warms up, or it disagrees with ambient conditions.
Possible causes
- CommonModule mounted where it gets little airflow, or a blocked cooling path
- CommonA shorted output making the module work far harder than it should
- CommonCorroded connector causing high resistance and local heating
- CommonFailed internal temperature sensor
- PossibleVery high ambient temperature combined with heavy load
- PossibleGenuine internal module failure
What you might notice
- Check engine light on
- Limp mode in some cases
- Often no symptom the driver notices
What to check, in order
- Compare the reported internal temperature with ambient on a vehicle that has stood overnight - they should be close.
- Read all codes for an over-temperature code stored alongside.
- Check the module connector and its supply voltage before concluding the module is at fault.
Read this code from your own car
Plug an ELM327 adapter into the OBD-II port under the dashboard. Pin16 reads every stored, pending and permanent code, explains each one like this page does — offline, with no account — and shows what the car recorded when the fault was set.
