Injector 3 Control Circuit:

P0203-INJECTOR 3 CONTROL CIRCUIT
The fuel injection system on L81 engines utilize sequential fuel injection. The ECM independently controls each fuel injector through separate internal drivers. The ECM drivers hold each fuel injector circuit to ground for a certain length of time based on engine operating parameters. When the injector driver is commanded Off (circuit not grounded), the voltage level at the ECM should be high (ignition voltage). When the injector driver is commanded On (circuit grounded). the voltage level at the ECM should be low. The ECM injector driver feedback circuit uses a pull-up voltage (2.6-4.6 volts), which allows the ECM to individually differentiate between an open, short to ground or short to voltage. DTC P0203 will set if the ECM detects an open in fuel injector #3 control circuit when fuel injector #3 is commanded Off with engine cranking/running.

DTC PARAMETERS
DTC P0203 will set if fuel injector #3 feedback voltage is between 2.6 and 4.6 volts (ECM pull-up voltage) indicating an open circuit when fuel injector #3 is commanded Off when:
^ Condition exists for longer than 0.5 seconds
^ Battery voltage is between 7.5 and 15 volts
^ Engine speed is greater than 40 rpm

DTC P0203 diagnostic runs continuously once the above conditions have been met.

P0203 is a type B DTC

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
To locate an intermittent problem. start engine and use Scan tool to monitor MISFIRE CURRENT CYL. 3. If a #3 fuel injector fault exists, a misfire will occur on cylinder #3 and the misfire counter will count up.

Fuel injector resistance; 16.0+/-0.4 ohms at 21°C (70°F);
OR
All fuel injector resistances within 1 ohm of each other at the same temperature.
