About P0264

P0264 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P0264 is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage lower than the expected operating range.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0264 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P0264 fault code is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a low voltage condition in the injector circuit for cylinder 2. This can result from electrical issues such as a short to ground, a damaged connector, or a malfunctioning fuel injector, leading to inadequate fuel delivery.
