CEL on P2285

[909FF/PM]

My truck throw a CEL when I started it this morning and the code was P2285. When I started it was idleing like it had a radical cam in it. I tapped the gas and it idled great and drove great right after. I am leaving for a 500 mile round trip to the river on wednesday morning and i am wondering if I should chance it and drive the truck or have my wife take it to the dealer tomorrow while I am at work. I put on a 4" straight pipe exhaust on two days ago, would that give me a problem at the dealer?

replace icp sensor , thats your problem, some say you need to replace connector also, but its hard to do on a 03 model, so try the sensor , should take care of your problem, if cel does come back on with same code , replace the connector, you may find that sensor is cracked and leaking also

Icp sensor most likely.....Try unplugging it and see if the problem clears up.

I find them on the 03's cracked and leaking all the time. I would deffinitely check that out.

Mine just threw the code this past weekend. Going to put in a new sensor first, and if it comes back a new connector too. Not looking forward to doing this....

Where is the ICP sensor on 03 6.0L? I have seen pics for the location on 6.0L but mine isn't where the picture has it. I hope im not retarded

It was hard to find mine also because it was covered by a fabric sleeve. It was on the back of the motor on the driver side below the turbo.

Thanks. We have "summer" weather for once today, so I will try to find it. I was going to try to clean it and if that doesn't work, replace it. Where and how much did you get yours for. Also, is there anyway you have a picture of where it is? By the time I am out of work, its dark.
