Q: What does code P2466 mean?

Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 3. P2466 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormal signal from the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor located after the diesel particulate filter (DPF) on bank 2, sensor 3. The PCM compares this sensor's voltage or resistance to expected values and sets the code when the reading falls outside the acceptable range for a calibrated period.
