P2262: Turbo Boost Pressure Not Detected - Mechanical
3 vehicles · 3 makes · $450-$4,000 repair
Most Reported On
P2262 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Turbo Boost Pressure Not Detected - Mechanical.” This code means the engine computer commanded the turbocharger to make boost but the expected boost pressure was not actually detected, and it traced the shortfall to a mechanical cause rather than a sensor or electronic glitch. The computer compares commanded boost to measured boost, and when the turbo isn't physically delivering it, this code sets. You'll typically notice a clear loss of power, especially under acceleration or load. It generally points to a mechanical problem in the turbo, its plumbing, or the wastegate/boost-control hardware. This code is most commonly reported on 2011-2019 Ford F-350, 2007-2024 RAM 2500 (2500 6.7L Cummins), and 2011-2018 Volvo V60 (D4, D4 AWD, Cross Country D4, R-Design D4), with repair costs ranging from $450 to $4,000.
