Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) has four individual
injector driver circuits. Each controls an injector. When a
driver circuit is grounded by the ECM, the injector is

activated. The ECM monitors the current in each driver
circuit. The ECM measures a voltage drop through a
fixed resistor and controls it. The voltage on each driver
is monitored to detect a fault. If the voltage is not what
the ECM expects to monitor on the circuit, a Diagnostic

Trouble Code is set. This Diagnostic Trouble Code is
also set if an injector driver is shorted to voltage.

Diagnostic Aids

An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to
voltage will cause a Diagnostic Trouble Code P0201 to
set. It will also cause a misfire due to an inoperative

injector. A misfire Diagnostic Trouble Code will also be
set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively 
high or low are a good indication that an injector is 
faulty. 
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.
