DTC P1265 Without RPO CTF

Circuit Description

A hydraulic piston and two-way valve (TWV) or solenoid valve have been added to the conventional nozzle. Receiving signals from the engine control module (ECM), the TWV opens and closes to change the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber on top of the hydraulic piston so that the hydraulic piston operates, thereby ejecting the fuel from the nozzle. If the ECM detects a low voltage condition on the TWV voltage supply circuit of cylinder 4, 5, or 6 DTC P1265 will set. If the ECM detects a high voltage condition on the TWV voltage supply circuit of cylinder 4, 5, or 6 DTC P1266 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Battery voltage is more than 10 volts.
    • There is no engine overspeed condition.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The TWV voltage supply circuit is shorted to ground.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The ECM limits fuel delivery on cylinders 1, 2, and 3. The ECM stop fuel injection on cylinders 4, 5, and 6.

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.
    • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

    • Poor connection at the ECM
        Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
    • Erratic RPM
    • Lack of engine power

DTC P1265 With RPO CTF

Circuit Description

The fuel 2 injector drive circuit is a high-voltage supply and drives injectors installed to cylinders 4, 5, and 6. The engine control module (ECM) steps up the battery voltage and supplies the resulted high voltage to the related injectors continuity. If the fuel 2 injector drive circuit supply to cylinder 4, 5, or 6 is short to ground circuit or if the injector solenoid control circuit 4, 5, or 6 is shorted to ground, this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition switch is ON.
    • The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts.
    • The engine is running.
    • The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is not failed.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the injector power supply circuit is short to ground circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and reduced engine power indicator lamp, if fitted, when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • The ECM disables cylinders 4, 5, and 6 injector operation.
    • The ECM limits fuel injection quantity for fail-safe operation.
    • The ECM closes the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and holds to close position.
    • The ECM limits fuel rail pressure for fail-safe operation.
    • The ECM limits accelerator operation range.
    • The ECM inhibits the PTO control.
    • The ECM inhibits cruise control.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The MIL resets when the ignition is turned OFF.
    • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
    • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
