Circuit Description

The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Performing the Fuel Injector Coil Test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis .
    • For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Remove the air cleaner outlet resonator. Refer to Air Cleaner Outlet Resonator Replacement .
  3. Disconnect the harness connector of a fuel injector.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of a fuel injector, fuse side, with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors .

Does the test lamp illuminate?
