Diagnostic Instructions

•	Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

•	Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

•	Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. A fused ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel injector increases.

Diagnostic Aids

•	Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.

•	Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition.

•	Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customers concern. A fuel injector condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions.

Component Testing

Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:

•	If the scan tool engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor parameter is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of each fuel injector should be 11-14 Ω.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the fuel injector.

•

If the scan tool ECT sensor parameter is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each fuel injector with a DMM. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value. The difference between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than 3 Ω.

⇒	If the difference is equal to or less than the specified range, refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool for further diagnosis of the fuel injectors.

⇒

If the difference is greater than the specified range, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value. Divide the total resistance value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Replace the fuel injector that displays the greatest resistance difference above or below the average.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
