P047D Exhaust Pressure Sensor B Circuit High

Exhaust pressure sensor B above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. 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.
