Fuel Injector Circuit

Circuit Description

The electronic control module (ECM) can detect when unintended fuel injection occurs by
monitoring fuel rail pressure and engine speed. This fault code is logged when the ECM
determines that unintended fuel injection has occurred.

Component Location

The fuel injector is located in the cylinder head. Refer to Procedure100-002 for a detailed
component location view.

Shop Talk

This fault code can be caused by a failed or damaged injector causing continuous injection
into the cylinder. Progressive cylinder damage may occur if the engine is operated for an
extended period of time with this condition. If a failed injector is found to be the cause of
this fault code, the cylinder liner and piston must be inspected for progressive damage.

If an injector nozzle is fractured or stuck, continuous fueling will ocur in that cylinder. If this
condition occurs, the engine will typically die and not start. There will be exhaust smoke
during cranking and no fuel rail pressure will be developed during cranking. Fault Code
2215 will be active during cranking if this condition exists.
