Circuit Description

The fuel 1 injector drive circuit is a high-voltage supply and drives injectors installed to cylinders 1, 2, and 3. The engine control module (ECM) steps up the battery voltage and supplies the resulted high voltage to the related injectors continuity. If the fuel 1 injector drive circuit supply to cylinder 1, 2, or 3 is short to ground circuit or if the injector solenoid control circuit 1, 2, or 3 is short to ground, this DTC will set.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P1263 Injector Positive Voltage Control Circuit Group 1 Low Voltage

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 1, 2, and 3 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 acceleration 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.
