Circuit/System Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to the fuel injectors. The PCM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. The PCM monitors the status of each driver. If the PCM detects an incorrect voltage for the commanded state of the driver, a fuel injector control circuit DTC sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | The ignition voltage is more than 11 volts for 5 seconds. |
| • | DTC P0201-P0206 runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ignition switch is in crank or run position. |
| • | The PCM detects an incorrect voltage on the fuel injector control circuit. |
| • | The above condition is met for 1 second. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0201-P0206 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0201-P0206 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Performing the Fuel Injector Diagnosis may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis .

Special Tools
J 34730-405 Injector Test Lamp
Circuit/System Verification
Key ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, or P0206 should not be set.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate fuel injector.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
- Ignition OFF, connect a J 34730-405 between the control circuit terminal B and the ignition circuit terminal A, of the appropriate fuel injector.
- Engine running, the test lamp should flash.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel injector.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test or replace the fuel injector. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
