Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Injector Circuit Diagnosis
FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector on the intake stroke for each cylinder. An ignition 1 voltage is supplied directly to the fuel
injectors. The control module 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 to isolate an intermittent condition.
-
Performing the Fuel Injector Coil Test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Fuel Injector Coil Test. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics
-
For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Strategies/Intermittent Conditions
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1 - 8
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. This step tests for a short to ground on the ignition 1 voltage supply circuit of the fuel injector.
5. This step tests for an open ignition 1 voltage supply circuit between the injector fuse and a fuel injector electrical connector.
