CodePage.commonMistakes
A very common mistake when diagnosing the P0262 code is automatically replacing the sensor or component mentioned in the code description without first testing it. Electrical issues, wiring damage, or vacuum leaks are frequently the true cause. Always use a multimeter and live data scanner to verify component failure before spending money on parts.

If the check engine light is solid, you can usually drive to a safe location or mechanic. If the light is flashing, pull over immediately to prevent catastrophic engine or catalytic converter damage.
