INJECTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT DTC sets if Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not detect an inductive kick .18ms after injector turn off with no other injectors on. Possible causes are: open or shorted injector control circuit, open injector power supply circuit, open injector, or failed driver in Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Go to next step.
  4. Inspect all related wiring and connectors and repair as necessary. Perform TEST VER-2. If no problems are found with wiring and connectors, go to next step.
  5. Start engine. Wiggle injector-to-PCM wiring harness. If engine misfires or stalls, repair wiring harness as necessary. Perform TEST VER-2. If engine does not misfire or stall, see INACTIVE DTC CONDITION  .
