The P2268 fault code indicates an issue with the water in fuel sensor circuit, which may be experiencing intermittent faults. This sensor is critical for detecting the presence of water in the fuel system and ensuring optimal engine performance. When the sensor fails or its circuit experiences issues, it may trigger this fault code, leading to potential engine problems.

What are the symptoms of the P2268 code?

Symptoms associated with a P2268 fault code may include:

• Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
• Engine stalling or rough running
• Difficulty starting the engine
• Reduced engine power or efficiency
• Unusual fuel odor due to water in the fuel system

What causes the P2268 code?

Common causes of the P2268 code include:

• Defective water in fuel sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors in the sensor circuit
• Corrosion or contamination in the fuel system
• Faulty engine control module (ECM)
• Poor connections due to vibrations or wear over time

How to fix P2268?

To resolve the P2268 fault code, consider the following steps:

1. Inspect the water in fuel sensor for any visible damage or wear.
2. Check wiring and connectors for issues such as corrosion or disconnection.
3. Test the water in fuel sensor with a multimeter to ensure it operates within specifications.
4. Replace the faulty water in fuel sensor if needed.
5. Clear the fault code and conduct a road test to see if the issue reoccurs.
6. If the code persists, further diagnose the ECM and related circuits.
