P2562Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor A Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2562 flags a general electrical problem in the circuit of the position sensor that reports where turbocharger boost actuator A stands - the variable vane linkage on many diesels, the electric wastegate actuator on turbo petrol engines. The engine computer receives a signal it cannot use at all, as opposed to a wrong position (P2563), a signal pinned low or high (P2564/P2565) or brief dropouts (P2566). Kia service actions SA078 and SA119A for the 2011 and 2012 Optima with the 2.0 T-GDI engine name P2562 together with P2565; the fix is to read the actuator position voltage with the scan tool and reset the rod length of the electronic wastegate actuator. With the code present, boost is usually cut back and the warning lamp is lit.
- What you may notice
- Reduced power because boost is limited
- Check engine light on
- P2565 stored at the same time on some engines
- Likely causes
- LikelyOpen or corroded wiring or connector between position sensor and engine computer
- PossibleElectronic wastegate actuator rod length out of adjustment
- PossiblePosition sensor inside the actuator failed
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
