P04E3
Crankcase Ventilation Hose Connection Sensor Circuit High
Same as P04E1 with the signal voltage above the plausible range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
