P0261 - CYLINDER 1 INJECTOR CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The fuel injector control module (FICM) continuously monitors the open/close coil power and ground circuits for continuity. When the open circuit condition is detected the FICM sends a message to the powertrain control module (PCM) through the FICM/PCM communication line. The DTC sets when the PCM receives a message from the FICM.
Possible Causes: 
  • Close coil power and ground circuit open in the harness
  • Open coil power and ground circuit open in the harness
  • Fuel injector
  • FICM connector loose
  • FICM
Diagnostic Aids:  Check resistance of the fuel injector and harness for an open circuit.
