Circuit Description
The fuel injector control module (FICM) monitors the compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor, the fuel tank temperature (FTT) sensor, and the fuel rail temperature (FRT) sensor. The FTP, FTT, and FRT sensor values, and FICM diagnostic status, is communicated to the powertrain control module (PCM) by 2 pulse width modulated (PWM) circuits.
This DTC sets when the FICM status PWM signal is not received by the PCM.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1209 Fuel Injector Control Feedback Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition voltage is between 6-18 volts. |
| • | The engine is cranking or running. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The FICM status PWM signal is not received by the PCM. |
| • | The condition exists for at least 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module switches over to gasoline fuel operation. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 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. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if the condition is present.
-
This step verifies that the PCM is supplying the correct output voltage. The open circuit voltage should be 5 volts.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check Alternative Fuels - Engine Controls? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Alternative Fuels (Engine Controls) |
Observe the FICM diagnostic circuit status with a scan tool. Does the scan tool display FAULT? | -- | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 | |
3 | Is DTC P0611 also set? | -- | Go to DTC P0611 | Go to Step 5 |
4 |
Does the DTC fail this ignition cycle? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Intermittent Conditions |
Does the DMM display the voltage at the specified value? | 5.0 V | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Is the voltage more than the specified value? | 5.3 V | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Test for an open, or a short to ground on the FICM status circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems in the C/K Pickup Service Manual. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Test for a short to voltage on the FICM status circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems in the C/K Pickup Service Manual. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 11 |
9 | Inspect for proper terminal contact at the harness connector of the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems in the C/K Pickup Service Manual. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 11 |
10 | Inspect for proper terminal contact at the harness connector of the FICM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems in the C/K Pickup Service Manual. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 12 |
11 | Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls in the C/K Pickup Service Manual. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 13 | -- |
12 | Replace the FICM. Refer to Fuel Injector Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 13 | -- |
13 |
Did the DTC fail this ignition? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Step 14 |
14 | Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? | -- | System OK | |
