 DTC Descriptor

DTC P2263 5A

Turbocharger Boost System Performance Not Plausible

DTC P2263 5B

Turbocharger Boost System Performance Malfunction

DTC P2263 61

Turbocharger Boost System Performance Stuck

 Circuit/System Description

The turbocharger pressure sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load, and turbocharger boost. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the turbocharger pressure sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit. The ECM provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The turbocharger pressure sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the signal circuit which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold.

 Conditions for Running the DTC


The engine is running.

The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.


 Conditions for Setting the DTC

The actual turbocharger boost pressure is out of the desired range for greater than 200 s.

  Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P2263 is a Type C DTC.

 Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P2263 is a Type C DTC.

 Circuit/System Verification


1. Ignition ON, compare the scan tool boost pressure sensor parameter to the barometric pressure sensor parameter. Both parameters should be within 5 kPa (0.73 PSI).

2. If not within the specified range, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

3. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0045, P0047, or P0048 are not set.

4. If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

5. Engine running: increase the engine speed to 2 000 rpm. Change parameter for the turbocharger's charge solenoid valve between ON and OFF with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool Boost Pressure Sensor parameter increases and decreases with the scan tool commands.

6. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.


 Circuit/System Testing


1. Inspect the fuel tank for the right fuel content

2. Inspect the intake, and the exhaust systems, for the following:

Leaks or restrictions

Damaged or missing components

Aftermarket components

3. If a condition is found, repair as necessary.

4. Disconnect the vacuum source from the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve

5. Connect the EN 23738-A Mityvac to the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve vacuum supply hose. Engine running, verify the vacuum is greater than -50 kPa (-7.25 PSI).

6. If less than the specified range, inspect the vacuum supply hose and filter for a leak or restriction. If the supply hose is normal, replace the vacuum pump.

7. Connect the vacuum source to the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve. Connect the EN 23738-A Mityvac to the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve vacuum port. Engine running, command the Turbocharger Vane Position to 5% with a scan tool. Verify the vacuum is less than -40 kPa (-5.8 PSI).

8. If greater than the specified range, replace the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.

9. Command the Turbocharger Vane Position to 95% with a scan tool. Verify the vacuum is greater than -50 kPa (-7.25 PSI).

10. If less than the specified range, replace the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.

11. Connect the EN 23738-A Mityvac to the turbocharger vane position control vacuum actuator. Apply -50 kPa (-7.25 PSI) vacuum to the turbocharger vane position control vacuum actuator. Verify the Turbocharger Vane Position Sensor parameter is greater than 70%.

12. If less than the specified range, replace the turbocharger vane position control vacuum actuator.

13. Inspect the turbocharger oil supply lines for a restriction.

14. If restricted, repair or replace as necessary.

15. If all other components test normal, replace the turbocharger.
