Diagnostic Test

  1. DTC IS ACTIVE 
    NOTE: This DTC can set as a result of a fault in any of the injector circuits. Be sure to check all injector circuits before replacing an injector and all injectors before replacing a module.
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
    3. Attempt to start the engine and test drive the vehicle.
    4. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. FUEL INJECTOR HIGH-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect each Fuel Injector harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between ground and the Fuel Injector High-Side Control circuit in each Fuel Injector harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1000 ohms for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. FUEL INJECTOR LOW-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the Fuel Injector Low-Side Control circuit in each Fuel Injector harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1000 ohms for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. FUEL INJECTOR HIGH-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO FUEL INJECTOR LOW-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the resistance between the Fuel Injector High-Side Control circuit and the Fuel Injector Low-Side Control circuit in each Fuel Injector harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1000 ohms between the circuits in each connector?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. FUEL INJECTOR HIGH-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of each Fuel Injector High-Side Control circuit between the Fuel Injector harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. FUEL INJECTOR LOW-SIDE CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of each Fuel Injector Low-Side Control circuit between the Fuel Injector harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  7

      No 

  7. FUEL INJECTOR 
    1. Measure the resistance between the terminals of each Fuel Injector.

      Is the resistance approximately 185k ohms (+/- 10%) for each injector?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  8

      No 

  8. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) 
    1. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between each Fuel Injector and the Engine Control Module (ECM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
    5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
    6. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
