About P007E

P007E is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P007E is stored, the module has detected a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P007E is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P007E fault code is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects intermittent readings or signal disruptions from the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) temperature sensor, also known as the intercooler temperature sensor, in Bank 1. This sensor plays a vital role in turbocharged or supercharged engines, measuring the temperature of the air after it is cooled by the intercooler. The intercooler's function is to decrease the temperature of the compressed air from the turbocharger or supercharger before it enters the engine, enhancing the air's density and combustion efficiency.
