P0274
DTC P0274
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to the fuel injectors. The ECM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. The ECM monitors the status of each driver. If the ECM detects a high voltage for the commanded state of the driver, DTC P0262, P0265, P0268, P0271, P0274, P0277, P0280, P0283 sets.
DTC DESCRIPTORS
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
- DTC P0262 Injector 1 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0265 Injector 2 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0268 Injector 3 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0271 Injector 4 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0274 Injector 5 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0277 Injector 6 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0280 Injector 7 Control Circuit High Voltage
- DTC P0283 Injector 8 Control Circuit High Voltage
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The engine speed is more than 40 RPM.
- The system voltage is between 8-18 volts.
- DTCs P0262, P0265, P0268, P0271, P0274, P0280, and P0283 run continuously once the above conditions have been met.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The ECM detects a high voltage condition on the fuel injector control circuit.
- The above condition is met for 30 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
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.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- Performing the Fuel Injector Coil Test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test. Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test
- If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions
