P2148

Fuel injector group A supply voltage circuit high

What it means

Many engine computers power the injectors in groups (for example two cylinders per group). The supply voltage to injector group A is too high, usually a short to voltage. Which cylinders are in group A depends on the engine.

Symptoms

  • misfire or cut-out on two or more cylinders
  • rough running and loss of power
  • possible no start
  • engine warning light

Likely causes, most likely first

No.Cause
01injector-group supply or control wiring shorted to voltage or another circuit
02connector or harness damage
03internal injector electrical fault
04engine computer injector-driver fault

What to check, step by step

  1. 01Identify the affected injector group and its circuit from the engine-specific wiring diagram.
  2. 02Switch off and follow OEM shutdown/discharge precautions before touching or disconnecting injector wiring. Never unplug injectors while the engine is running.
  3. 03Inspect connectors and the harness. With the ECU and injectors isolated as specified, test continuity and shorts to ground, supply and adjacent circuits.
  4. 04Test injectors with the OEM procedure and equipment suitable for their solenoid or piezo design; do not infer failure simply because a code changes when one is unplugged.
  5. 05Check relevant ECU power and grounds; consider a driver fault only after wiring and injectors pass the specified tests.
