Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector positive voltage control circuits. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit of that fuel injector. The ECM monitors the status of the injector positive voltage control circuits and the fuel injector control circuits. The injectors are separated into the following four groups:
| • | Group 1-DTC P2146 with injectors 1 and 4 |
| • | Group 2-DTC P2149 with injectors 6 and 7 |
| • | Group 3-DTC P2152 with injectors 2 and 5 |
| • | Group 4-DTC P2155 with injectors 3 and 8 |
When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injectors will be disabled and may disable the affected group of fuel injectors.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | The charging system voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ECM injector output driver detects an incorrect current on a fuel injector circuit. |
| • | The condition exists for 1 second. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0207, and P0208 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0207, and P0208 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Testing
Important: If you cannot duplicate the condition, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. If DTC P2146, P2149, P2152 or P2155 are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
One Fuel Injector DTC Sets
- Test the affected fuel injector control circuit for an open between the ECM and the fuel injector.
- Test the affected fuel injector for high resistance. Refer to Component Testing in this diagnostic.
| ⇒ | If the circuit and fuel injector test normal, replace the ECM. |
Two or More Fuel Injector DTCs Set
- Test the affected fuel injector circuit for the following:
- Test the affected fuel injector for high resistance. Refer to Component Testing in this diagnostic.
| • | An open between the ignition position voltage control circuit splice and the fuel injector connector |
| • | An open between the ECM and the ignition positive voltage control circuit splice |
| ⇒ | If the circuit and fuel injector test normal, replace the ECM. |
Component Testing
- Disconnect the connector of the fuel injector to be tested.
- Connect a DMM between the terminals of the fuel injector and measure the resistance. The resistance should be 0.2-0.3 ohms.
| ⇒ | If the resistance is more than 0.2-0.3 ohms resistance, replace the fuel injector. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
