Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to the fuel injectors. The ECM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. The ECM monitors the status of each driver.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is between 7.5-16 volts. |
| • | The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects the injector control circuit is open or shorted to ground or voltage.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, and P0204 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, and P0204 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, or P0204 should not set.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
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 1 voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
- Ignition OFF, connect a J 34730-405 Injector Test Lamp between the control circuit terminal B land the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal A.
- 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, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. Replace the fuse if necessary. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate fuel injector.
- Test for 11-14 ohms between the control circuit terminal B and the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal A.
Important: The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor must be between 10-32°C (50-90°F) in order for an accurate measurement.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the fuel injector. |
