When to Call a Professional
If you have inspected wiring and the injector but the code persists, or if you are not comfortable testing electrical circuits, consult a professional diesel mechanic. Additionally, if the SCR system requires complex diagnostics or replacement of the injector inside the exhaust, a shop may be necessary.Frequently Asked Questions
What does error code P2060 mean?
P2060 indicates a fault in the reductant injector circuit on Bank 2, Unit 2 of your diesel vehicle's SCR system. It means the ECM detected an electrical issue with the injector or its wiring.
Can I drive with a P2060 code?
While you may be able to drive, the check engine light may come on and the vehicle may enter limp mode, reducing performance. Continued driving could damage the SCR system. It's best to diagnose and fix the issue promptly.
How much does it cost to fix P2060?
Costs vary widely. If it's a simple wiring repair, it may cost $100-$200 at a shop. Replacing a reductant injector can range from $200 to $800 parts and labor.
What causes P2060?
Common causes include a faulty reductant injector, damaged wiring or connectors, a blown fuse, or a problem with the SCR control module.
How do I test a reductant injector?
Use a multimeter to check resistance (typically 2-10 ohms) and test for power and ground at the connector. Consult your service manual for specific values.
