Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

  1. 2:  This step verifies that the condition is not intermittent.
  2. 4:  This step determines which set of fuel injectors the circuit condition is affecting. If DTC P2146 is set, then a condition exists on cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7. If DTC P2149 is set, then a condition exists on cylinders 2, 3, 5, or 8.
  3. 5:  This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the fuel injectors.
  4. 6:  This step isolates which circuit is causing the condition. If the digital multimeter (DMM) displays OL when an injector connector is disconnected, test the affected circuits for a short to ground.
  5. 7:  This step tests for an open circuit. If the DMM displays OL on all of the fuel injector circuits, the injector supply voltage circuit is open.
  6. 8:  This step tests for an open circuit. If the DMM displays OL on one of the fuel injector circuits, the fuel injector command circuit is open.
  7. 9:  This step tests for excessive resistance in a fuel injector circuit.
  8. 10:  This step is testing for a short between the injector supply voltage circuit and the fuel injector command circuit. If the resistance of the circuits is less than 0.3 ohms, test for a short between the circuits. If a short cannot be found, the fuel injector may be the cause of the condition. The normal fuel injector resistance is between 0.3-0.4 ohms.
  9. 11:  This step tests for a short to voltage on a fuel injector circuit. If the DMM displays battery voltage a short to voltage is the cause of the condition.
  10. 12:  This step isolates which circuit is causing the condition. If the DMM display changes to 0 volts when an injector connector is disconnected, test the disconnected circuits for a short to voltage.
  11. 13:  This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the fuel injectors.
  12. 14:  This step isolates which circuit is causing the condition. If the DMM displays OL when an injector connector is disconnected, test the affected circuits for a short to ground.
  13. 15:  This step tests for an open circuit. If the DMM displays OL on all of the fuel injector circuits, the injector supply voltage circuit is open.
  14. 16:  This step tests for an open circuit. If the DMM displays OL on one of the fuel injector circuits, the fuel injector command circuit is open.
  15. 17:  This step tests for excessive resistance in a fuel injector circuit.
  16. 18:  This step is testing for a short between the injector supply circuit and the fuel injector command circuit. If the resistance of the circuits is less than 0.3 ohms, test for a short between the circuits. If a short cannot be found, the fuel injector may be the cause of the condition. The normal fuel injector resistance is between 0.3-0.4 ohms.
  17. 19:  This step tests for a short to voltage on a fuel injector circuit. If the DMM displays battery voltage a short to voltage is the cause of the condition.
  18. 20:  This step isolates which circuit is causing the condition. If the DMM display changes to 0 volts when an injector connector is disconnected, test the disconnected circuits for a short to voltage.
