DTC Descriptor
DTC P268A
- Fuel Injector Calibration Data Not Programmed

Circuit/System Description

The control functions for the fuel injection system are integrated in the engine control module (ECM). During the manufacturing process, each injector's flow rate is measured and recorded as injection quantity adjustment (IQA) flow rate data. The flow rate data is then etched as a hexadecimal number on the body of the injector. This data, together with the injector's cylinder position, is stored in the memory of both the glow plug control module (GPCM) and the ECM. When the ignition is turned ON, both the GPCM and the ECM monitor to ensure that the fuel injection flow rate numbers are present. If any of the injector flow rate numbers are not programmed in the ECM this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The fuel injector IQA flow rate data is not programmed.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P268A is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P268A is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Review the Display ECM & GPCM Inj. Flow Rates parameter with a scan tool. All cylinders should be programmed with a flow rate number. Both the GPCM and the ECM should be programmed with the same flow rate numbers for the corresponding cylinders.

• If flow rate numbers are not present, refer to Fuel Injector Flow Rate Programming (Procedures).

2. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P268A should not set.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
