Fuel Injector Circuit Diagnosis
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONThe Powertrain Control Module (PCM) enables the appropriate fuel injector on the intake stroke for each cylinder. A voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The PCM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Monitoring the fuel injector circuit status with a scan tool, while moving the fuel injector harness, may help isolate an intermittent condition.
^ Performing the Fuel Injector Coil test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Coil Test. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
^ For an intermittent condition refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1-8:
Steps 9-14:
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. This step tests for a short to ground on the fuel injector B+ supply circuit.
5. This step tests for a short to a PCM ground on the fuel injector B+ supply circuit.
6. This step tests for a short to ground between the multi-way connector and the fuel injectors.
7. This step tests for an open or high resistance between the multi-way connector and the fuel injectors.
