How is fault code P047B fixed?

A typical diagnostic sequence used by mechanics, provided here for educational reference only. Diagnostic work should be performed by a qualified mechanic with the appropriate tools and training. 1. Pull the live data and look at the actual pressure reading at idle and on a light load. A healthy sensor moves smoothly with engine load. If it's pinned, dead, or jumping about, you've found your direction 2. Scan for the codes that travel with it, P047A, P047C and the P2452 to P2455 family. A wad of pressure codes together usually points at the tube or the sensor rather than wiring 3. Disconnect the sensing tube and check it's clear. Carbon and watery sludge block these readily, and blowing it through or replacing the tube is often the whole fix 4. Eyeball the connector and the loom. Look for green corrosion on the pins, pushed-back terminals, and any spot where the wiring rubs against metal. Wiggle-test it with the data live 5. Back-probe the connector for the 5V reference and a clean ground with the key on. No reference voltage points at wiring or ECU, not the sensor 6. If the tube's clear, wiring's solid and the supply is good but the reading is still rubbish, the sensor's had it

Can I keep driving?

Usually drivable; have it fixed at the first opportunity.

What does it mean?

P047B is a Powertrain (engine, transmission, fuel system) fault code. It indicates: Exhaust Pressure Sensor "B" Range/Performance . This is a standardised OBD-II code. The technical definition is the same regardless of the make or model of vehicle, although specific causes and symptoms can vary between vehicles.
