Q: What does code P2495 mean?

EGR Cooler Bypass Position Sensor Circuit High Bank 1. P2495 means the engine computer has detected an abnormally high voltage on the signal circuit from the EGR cooler bypass position sensor on bank 1. The sensor reports the physical position of the bypass valve that routes exhaust gas around the cooler, and a high voltage reading typically indicates an open circuit, a short to voltage, or a sensor that has failed in a way that drives the signal above its normal range.
