P2435 — Air System Air Flowpressure Sensor Circuit Bank 2

Manufacturer-specificPowertrain (engine & transmission)

P2435 indicates a problem with the air flow pressure sensor circuit on bank 2 of the engine. The engine control unit is not receiving a proper signal from the sensor that measures the pressure in the air intake system for that cylinder bank.

Symptoms

What causes it — most likely first

1. Air Flow Pressure Sensor failure

The sensor itself can be faulty, producing incorrect or no pressure readings.

2. Wiring or connector issues

Corrosion, broken wires, or a loose connector can interrupt the sensor signal.

3. Vacuum leak in intake manifold or throttle body

A leak changes the pressure the sensor measures, leading to an abnormal reading.

4. Air filter or intake blockage

A clogged filter or blockage alters airflow pressure, confusing the sensor.

5. Engine control unit (PCM) malfunction

Rarely, the PCM may not process sensor data correctly, but this is uncommon for P2435.

How it's diagnosed

  1. Check the air flow pressure sensor with a multimeter for proper voltage and resistance.
  2. Inspect and test the sensor wiring and connector for continuity and corrosion.
  3. Verify that the intake manifold, throttle body, and vacuum lines are free of leaks or blockages.
  4. Measure the air intake pressure with a gauge to compare with sensor output.
  5. Use a scan tool to read live data and confirm sensor readings are within spec.

Frequently asked

Can I just replace the PCM to fix P2435?

Replacing the PCM is usually unnecessary and ineffective for this code; the issue is almost always with the sensor, wiring, or intake system.

Does a dirty air filter cause P2435?

A dirty air filter can alter airflow and pressure readings, but it is less common than a sensor failure or wiring problem.

Is P2435 related to the catalytic converter?

No, P2435 specifically refers to the air flow pressure sensor circuit on bank 2, not to emissions components.
