Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra, 2003 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2003 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 in the diagnostic procedure.

  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 DMM displays OL when a multi-way 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 a multi-way 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 a multi-way 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 a multi-way connector is disconnected, test the disconnected circuits for a short to voltage.
