What P2695 means
P2695 is reserved for the injector in cylinder 10, the highest cylinder number the J2012 series provides with its own data code. A ten-cylinder engine with individually coded injectors would be needed to set it, and none of the public OBD summaries reviewed here contains it: GM's 2025 V8 diesel table 25OBDG04A and Ford's 2023 diesel summary both stop at cylinder 8. CARB's rule that the stored code should, where feasible, identify the wrongly compensated injector explains why the series reaches this far. Engines with more than ten cylinders have to fall back on P2696. On ordinary cars and trucks P2695 is very unlikely to appear and should first be verified with a second tool.
P2695 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modeNot expected
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.3 to 1.5 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P2695
- Check engine light on
- Usually no noticeable symptoms
Common causes of P2695
- PossibleCylinder 10 injector code missing on a ten-cylinder engine
- PossibleMisread code on engines with fewer cylinders
- Less likelyController memory or software fault
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2695 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 6 | Area: computer (engine control module) and output circuits. |
| 95 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2695 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P2695
What does P2695 mean?
P2695 means "Cylinder 10 Injector Data Incompatible". P2695 is reserved for the injector in cylinder 10, the highest cylinder number the J2012 series provides with its own data code. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2695?
Usually yes, for a short time, if the check engine light is steady and the car drives normally. If the light flashes or the car runs badly, stop and have it checked.
Will P2695 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2695 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P2695 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 1.5 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2695 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
