Code P2563

[BHiggins]

Truck threw its first code today, P2563 which has to do with the "turbo position sensor" according to my reader. I looked in the trouble code sticky above, and did a search, but came up empty. Any ideas on where to start? Is it as simple as replacing the sensor? If so, is it an easy job? Can I clean the old one? Etc, etc.

Nobody has ever had this code? I'm the only one?

I had that code a few days before towing 600 miles(just over 40k on the truck). Truck seemed to run mostly normal and the dealer had first attempted a forced regen and turbo cleaning but the code came back the next day and they decided to go ahead with a turbo replacement. I used the truck for that trip and it went mostly well, the return trip home the variable geometry ring in the turbo seemed to be sticking pretty bad but I made it home. New turbo and things are good so far.

Mine is out of warranty, I can only imagine how much a new turbo costs... Unless it's considered part of the power-train, which I doubt.

If it IS "just" the turbo sticking, you can take it off and clean it without TOO much trouble.

It is part of the emission warranty, if you are under 100,000 miles and with in 5 years of in service date.

Mine was out of the 3/36 and was covered under the 5/100 on the cummins engine.

I'm within the 5 years, and I only have around 30k miles... I see a (dreaded) dealership visit in my future. I hate the dealer, I've never had one single good experience bringing my truck to the dealer. At least I can take care of the new tie-rod recall while I'm there.

At least they get the "five star" rating for being consistent.
