How to Fix C260D
Diagnostic Steps:
Check if fuel pump primes when key is turned to ON. Measure fuel pressure and verify bright white-blue spark at all plugs. Also verify mechanical timing alignment.
Repair Solution:
Power steering pressure switch monitors system operation. If pressure changes are not detected after calibrated speed transitions, this DTC sets. Verify PSP switch operation and check for circuit opens or shorts.
Technical Notes:
C260D DTCs can be triggered by upstream issues. For example, a dirty MAF sensor may cause incorrect fuel-trim adjustments, leading oxygen sensors to report mixture problems. Address root causes first.
