Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 4:  This step tests for a short to voltage on the fuel injector control circuit.
  2. 6:  This step inspects for fuel injector harness damage between the multi-way connector and the intake plenum. Careful inspection may isolate the condition before removal of the intake plenum.
  3. 7:  This step isolates the control circuit between the multi-way connector and the fuel injector. A short to voltage on the fuel injector control circuit will set this DTC.

Go to Step 4  Go to Diagnostic Aids
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the fuel injector harness multi-way connector.
  3. Probe the appropriate fuel injector control circuit, ECM side, with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5 Test the control circuit of the fuel injector for a short to voltage between the multi-way connector and the ECM. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
Inspect the accessible fuel injector jumper harness between the multi-way connector and the plenum for damaged or pinched wiring.
Refer to Wiring Repairs and Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 7 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Remove the upper intake. Refer to Intake Plenum Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
  3. Probe the affected fuel injector control circuit, fuel injector side, at the multi-way connector, with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 8  Go to Step 10 
8 Test the control circuit of the fuel injector for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the harness connector of the ECM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 12 
10 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the harness connector of the affected fuel injector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
11 Replace the affected fuel injector. Refer to Fuel Injectors and Fuel Rail Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
