CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector high voltage supply
circuits. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the high voltage control circuit of the fuel injector.
The ECM monitors the status of the injector high voltage supply circuits and the fuel injector high voltage
control circuits. When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injector(s) is
disabled.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

l Performing the fuel injector coil test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector
Solenoid Coil Test .

l If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating,
while monitoring the scan tool Injector Control Circuit Status parameters. An Injector Control Circuit
Status parameter will change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a
connection.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM VERIFICATION

1. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0685 or P1682 should not set.
¡ If a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

2. Engine operating, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204,
P0261, P0262, P0264, P0265, P0267, P0268, P0270, P0271, P1248, P1249, P124A, P124B, P2147,
P2148, P2150, P2151, P2153, P2154, P2156, or P2157 should not set.
3. Observe the scan tool Current Misfire Counter parameters. The Current Misfire Counters should not
increment.
4. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Cylinder 1-4 Injector Control Circuit Status parameters. Verify the
Injector Control Circuit Status parameters display OK.

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You
may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure
Records data.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel injector multi-way harness connector X111.
2. Ignition ON, observe the appropriate scan tool Cylinder 1-4 Injector Control Circuit Status. The
parameter should display Open.
¡ If not the specified value, test the appropriate high voltage supply circuit, ECM side, for a short to
ground or the appropriate high voltage control circuit, ECM side, for a short to voltage. If the
circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
3. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the appropriate high voltage supply circuit and the high voltage
control circuit. The Injector Control Circuit Status should transition from Open to OK.
¡ If not the specified value, test for the following conditions in the ECM side of the harness:

l An open/high resistance in the high voltage supply circuit

l An open/high resistance in the high voltage control circuit

l A short to ground in the high voltage control circuit

l A short to voltage in the high voltage supply circuit

¡ If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.

NOTE: Testing for the following steps is performed on the fuel injector side of the
multi-way harness connector. It may be necessary to remove the intake
manifold to isolate the condition.

4. Ignition OFF, measure the resistance between the appropriate high voltage supply circuit and ground. The
DMM should display OL ohms.
¡ If less than the specified range, test the high voltage supply circuit and the high voltage control
circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate
Q17 fuel injector(s).
5. Test for 2-3 ohms between the appropriate high voltage supply circuit and high voltage control circuit.
¡ If less than the specified range, test for a short between the high voltage supply circuit and high
voltage control circuit. If the circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate Q17
fuel injector(s).
¡ If greater than the specified range, test the high voltage supply circuit and high voltage control
circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the
appropriate Q17 fuel injector.

COMPONENT TESTING

NOTE: The DMM and test leads must be calibrated to 0 ohms in order to prevent
misdiagnosis.

1. Remove the intake manifold and disconnect the appropriate Q17 fuel injector.
2. Test for 1.9-2.3 ohms at 20°C (68°F) between the high voltage supply circuit terminal 2 and the high
voltage control circuit terminal 1 at the fuel injector.
¡ If not within the specified range, replace the Q17 fuel injector.

3. Measure the resistance between each terminal at the Q17 fuel injector and the Q17 fuel injector
housing/case. The DMM should display OL ohms.
¡ If less than the specified value, replace the Q17 fuel injector.
