WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Honda Accord, 2021 Honda Accord, 2020 Honda Accord, 2019 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC P0201: No. 1 Cylinder Injector Circuit Malfunction DTC P0202: No. 2 Cylinder Injector Circuit Malfunction DTC P0203: No. 3 Cylinder Injector Circuit Malfunction DTC P0204: No. 4 Cylinder Injector Circuit Malfunction

General Description

Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The injector supplies fuel to the engine and is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) ON/OFF command. In the PCM, the injector driver receives a drive commands from the CPU and drives the injector. The injector driver monitors injector currents and a terminal voltage of PCM and transmits results to the CPU. If the monitored conditions are abnormal for a specified time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

[ ]: HDS Parameter

Malfunction Threshold

Either of the conditions occurs at least 30 times (counts once per engine cycle):

Symptom: Injector current not flowing
The injector current is 0.2 to 1 A* or less.
Symptom: Injector overcurrent
The injector current is 12 to 20 A* or more.
Symptom: PCM terminal (to injector) short to ground
The PCM terminal (to injector) voltage is 1 to 1.3 V* or less.
Symptom: PCM terminal (to injector) short to power
The PCM terminal (to injector) voltage is 4.6 to 5 V* or more.
Symptom: Return signal abnormal
The return signal does not change.

*: Varies with driving condition.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
