Fuel Injector Control Module
This code indicates a problem with the fuel injector control module.
Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.
What it means (plain English)
The fuel injector control module is not working properly, affecting how fuel is injected into the engine, leading to performance issues or stalling.
What the computer is actually seeing
The ECM monitors the fuel injector control module signals; if it detects an unexpected voltage reading (less than 0.5V or greater than 4.5V), it triggers this code.
What a healthy reading looks like
Normal operating voltage for the fuel injector control module should be between 0.5V and 4.5V.
Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way
Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.
- 11. Check the wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage. Is there any visual wear?
- 22. Measure the voltage at the fuel injector control module with a multimeter. Is it within the 0.5V to 4.5V range? If no, proceed to step 3.
- 33. Inspect the wiring harness for shorts or breaks. Do you find any issues? If yes, repair the wiring and retest.
- 44. If wiring is fine, swap the fuel injector control module with a known good unit. Does the code return? If no, the original module is faulty.
- 55. If the code persists after replacing the module, further diagnose for ECM or circuitry issues.
Common causes
- Faulty fuel injector control module
- Wiring issues to the fuel injector control module
- Corroded or loose connectors on the fuel injector control module
- Short to ground or open circuit in control wiring
