P2471Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 3

P2471 means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an out-of-range or performance problem with the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor circuit for bank 1 sensor 3. The PCM compares the sensor's voltage or resistance signal against expected values for the current engine operating conditions and flags the code when the signal stays outside the acceptable window for too long.
