P2467: coolant-loss diagnosis in Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost EGR-cooler case
A Ford service message links P2467 with a specific coolant-loss condition and requires confirming an EGR-cooler leak before replacement.

Documented application
Ford SSM 48345: 2019–2020 Edge, Escape, Nautilus and Corsair equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, under the described coolant-loss condition.
The code alone does not identify a failed part or establish that a vehicle is safe to drive. Confirm the vehicle, reporting module and applicable service procedure.
P2467 is among the codes in Ford’s service message for a particular 2.0L EcoBoost coolant-loss investigation. The described vehicles are 2019–2020 Edge, Escape, Nautilus and Corsair models. Possible accompanying observations include low coolant, white exhaust smoke, an overtemperature warning, an external leak or an illuminated malfunction indicator.
Inspect the proposed leak path before deciding on a repair
Ford identifies an EGR cooler that may leak coolant into the intake or exhaust as one possible cause in this case. The prescribed starting point is inspection of that cooler, including the visual and pressure-test procedures in the applicable Workshop Manual. This is a targeted way to investigate coolant loss; it is not a declaration that P2467 always means the cooler has failed.
The replacement decision has a specific boundary: the cooler is replaced when testing confirms coolant leakage from its coolant chamber into the exhaust chamber. If no cooler issue is found, the bulletin directs continued normal diagnosis. A code match without demonstrated leakage does not satisfy that repair criterion.
Details that help the workshop
Record the coolant-level history, whether smoke occurs, the exact warning messages and all companion codes. Distinguish confirmed coolant consumption from an isolated stored code, and distinguish an internal cooler leak from another visible leak. Those differences determine whether this bulletin describes the actual complaint.
Do not open a hot cooling system or keep operating through an overtemperature warning to gather more data. This article explains the bulletin’s decision path, not a home pressure-test procedure. It also does not support replacing the engine, head gasket or EGR cooler on the code alone.
