P2263 — Turbo/Super Charger Boost System Performance
Boost pressure does not match the requested target during normal operation. The deviation between commanded and measured boost exceeds the calibrated tolerance, often due to leaks, sticking actuators or sensor errors.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
