DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0268
INJECTOR 3 HIGH VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The transaxle control module(TCM)/engine control mod-
ule (ECM) has four individual injector driver circuits, each
of which 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 mea-
sures 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 (DTC) is set. This
DTC detects a low voltage and/or an open circuit and high
voltage conditions for low–side drive injector outputs.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The injector 3 circuit is a short to battery condition
exists.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Records buffers.S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for 10 sec-
onds.
Diagnostic Aids
An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to voltage
will causes a DTC P0268 to set. It will also cause a misfire
due to an inoperative injector. A misfire DTC should also
be set indicating which injector is inoperative.
Long–term and short–terms fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is mal-
functioning. Refer to ”Fuel Injector Balance Test” in this
section to check for malfunctioning injectors.
The injector resistance tested at the ECM connection is
slightly more than it tested directly at the injector because
it includes resistance of the harness wires. The normal val-
ue is about 13.5W.
