Q: What does code P2696 mean?

Injector Data Incompatible. P2696 indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a mismatch or incompatibility in the injector data stored in its memory, typically after a reflash, module replacement, or injector swap. The ECM expects specific calibration or coding values for the fuel injectors, and when those values do not match what is programmed or what the ECM can verify, it sets this code.
