Q: What does code P2562 mean?

Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Circuit. P2562 indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected an implausible or out-of-range signal from the turbocharger boost control position sensor circuit. This sensor monitors the position of the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) vanes or the wastegate actuator, and the ECM uses that feedback to verify that the commanded boost level is actually being achieved.
