Circuit Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector on the intake stroke for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The control module monitors the status of each driver. Each driver has a feedback voltage circuit which the engine control module (ECM) monitors. The injector control circuits are pulled-up to voltage within the ECM. The ECM can determine if a control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. If the ECM detects the control circuit voltage is between a predetermined range when the circuit is commanded OFF, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
| • | DTC P0201 Injector 1 Control Circuit |
| • | DTC P0202 Injector 2 Control Circuit |
| • | DTC P0203 Injector 3 Control Circuit |
| • | DTC P0204 Injector 4 Control Circuit |
| • | DTC P0205 Injector 5 Control Circuit |
| • | DTC P0206 Injector 6 Control Circuit |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine speed is more than 80 RPM. |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
| • | The ECM has commanded the fuel injector ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle. |
| • | DTCs P0201-P0206 run continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ECM detects an open in the fuel injector circuits. |
| • | The condition exists for more than 4 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DT
| • | The control module turns OFF the MIL after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, last test failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Use the J 35616-A/BT-8637 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector. |
| • | The lower connector of the ECM is connector C1 and the upper connector of the ECM is connector C2. Refer to Front of Vehicle/Engine Compartment Component Views. |
| • | Performing the fuel injector coil test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test. |
| • | If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the circuit status for the component with a scan tool. The circuit status parameter changes from OK or Indeterminate to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection. The output driver module (ODM) information is in the ODM data list. |
| • | If the condition is intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step verifies that the condition is present.
-
This step determines if there is condition with the ignition 1 voltage supply circuit. The fuel injectors for each bank of the engine are fused separately. If all the fuel injectors open DTCs set for one bank of the engine, there is a condition with one of the ignition 1 voltage supply circuits.
-
This step verifies that the ECM is able to control the fuel injector.
-
This step tests if the feedback voltage circuit within the ECM is providing the correct voltage. This feedback voltage is used for determining if the fuel injector control circuit is open, shorted to a ground, or shorted to a voltage.
