P262E: Sensor Reference Voltage G Circuit High
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P26xx — Computer and output circuits
What does P262E mean?
The 5 V reference G voltage is above the expected level. Typical causes are a short to battery or an internal regulator failure.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Common causes
- High Reference wire shorted to a B+ supply
- Medium Internal 5 V regulator failed
- Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
