Q: What does code P2586 mean?

Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor B Circuit. P2586 indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an implausible signal from the turbocharger boost control position sensor B circuit, which monitors the vane or wastegate actuator position on the turbocharger. The computer compares the sensor B voltage or position feedback against expected values and sets the code when the signal falls outside the acceptable range or disagrees with the commanded boost level.
