Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector high voltage supply circuits. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the high voltage control circuit of the fuel injector. The ECM monitors the status of the injector high voltage supply circuits and the fuel injector high voltage control circuits. When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injector(s) is disabled.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* DTC P062B is not set.

* The engine is running for greater than 5 s.

* The ignition voltage is greater than 11 V.

* The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0201, P0202, P0203, or P0204

The ECM detects the injector high voltage supply circuit or the injector high voltage control circuit is open for greater than 1 s.

P0261, P0264, P0267, or P0270

The ECM detects the injector high voltage control circuit is shorted to ground for greater than 1 s.

P0262, P0265, P0268, or P0271

The ECM detects the injector high voltage control circuit is shorted to voltage for greater than 1 s.

P1248, P1249, P124A, or P124B

The ECM detects the injector high voltage supply circuit is shorted to the injector high voltage control circuit for greater than 1 s.

P2147, P2150, P2153, or P2156

The ECM detects the injector high voltage supply circuit is shorted to ground for greater than 1 s.

P2148, P2151, P2154, or P2157

The ECM detects the injector high voltage supply circuit is shorted to voltage for greater than 1 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0261, P0262, P0264, P0265, P0267, P0268, P0270, P0271, P1248, P1249, P124A, P124B, P2147, P2148, P2150, P2151, P2153, P2154, P2156, and P2157 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0261, P0262, P0264, P0265, P0267, P0268, P0270, P0271, P1248, P1249, P124A, P124B, P2147, P2148, P2150, P2151, P2153, P2154, P2156, and P2157 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* Performing the fuel injector coil test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test.

* If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan tool Injector Control Circuit Status parameters. An Injector Control Circuit Status parameter will change from OK or Not Run to Malfunction if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify DTC P0685 or P1682 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

If none of the DTCs are set

3. Verify DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0261, P0262, P0264, P0265, P0267, P0268, P0270, P0271, P1248, P1249, P124A, P124B, P2147, P2148, P2150, P2151, P2153, P2154, P2156, or P2157 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to Circuit/System Testing

If none of the DTCs are set

4. Engine running.

5. Verify the scan tool Current Misfire Counter parameters are not incrementing.

If the Current Misfire Counters are incrementing
Refer to Circuit/System Testing

If the Current Misfire Counters are not incrementing

6. Verify the scan tool Cylinder 1-4 Injector Control Circuit Status parameters display OK.

If the Cylinder 1-4 Injector Control Circuit Status parameters display Malfunction
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the Cylinder 1-4 Injector Control Circuit Status parameters display OK

7. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
