P2263: Turbo/Supercharger Boost System Performance
11 vehicles · 9 makes · $50-$12,000 repair
Most Reported On
P2263 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Turbo/Supercharger Boost System Performance.” This code means the computer has detected that the turbocharger or supercharger boost system is not performing as expected, even though no single sensor circuit has failed. The computer compares the actual manifold boost pressure against the target it commanded and sets this code when they don't match for a sustained period. You may notice low power, sluggish acceleration, or limp mode. It signals an overall boost shortfall and usually points to leaks, a failing turbo/charger, or a control component rather than a specific wiring fault. This code is most commonly reported on 2013-2025 RAM 3500, 2015-2024 Ford Transit, and 2003-2016 Volvo XC70, plus 8 other vehicles, with repair costs ranging from $50 to $12,000.
