DTC P0201: Injector Circuit Malfunction - Cylinder 1

CAUTION:
If DTC P0201 has been set, TCL related DTC U1120 is also set. After P0201 has been diagnosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.






















CIRCUIT OPERATION

- The injector power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No. 4).
- The ECM [M/T] or the PCM [A/T] controls the injector by turning the power transistor in the ECM [M/T] or the PCM [A/T] "ON" and "OFF".

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

- The amount of fuel injected by the injector is controlled by the amount of continuity time the coil is grounded by the ECM [M/T] or the PCM [A/T].

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The ECM [M/T] or the PCM [A/T] detects open circuit and short malfunction.
