Cylinder 1 Injector Circuit High
Last updated: July 2026
P0262 is a generic (SAE) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It is defined as "Cylinder 1 Injector Circuit High". It falls under the fuel & air metering (injector circuit) area of the vehicle’s powertrain system, and has the same core meaning across most makes and models.
The onboard diagnostic system sets P0262 when it detects a condition matching "cylinder 1 injector circuit high" in the fuel & air metering (injector circuit) circuit or system. When the fault is confirmed, the module stores the code and, in most cases, turns on a warning light.
This code is generally moderate. The vehicle is often still drivable, but the underlying fault should be diagnosed before it leads to further problems.
P0262 means "Cylinder 1 Injector Circuit High". It is a generic powertrain trouble code in the fuel & air metering (injector circuit) area.
The vehicle is often still drivable with this code, but you should have it diagnosed soon so a moderate fault does not turn into a larger one.
There is no single fix. Start by confirming the code with a scan tool, then work through the likely causes and checks above — inspecting wiring, connectors and the relevant components before replacing any parts. On most vehicles, confirm the diagnosis before repairs.
You can clear the code with an OBD-II scan tool, but if the underlying fault is still present it will usually return. Clearing without repair is only useful to confirm whether the fault is active.
