6VE1 3.5 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. This step determines if DTC P0202 is the result of a

hard failure or an intermittent condition.

5. A special injector test connector is provided so that

the injectors can be electrically tested without
removal of the manifold. The test connector can be
identified by the blue connector lock which is
tethered to the wiring harness.  If the light for
cylinder 2 is “ON” steady before cranking the engine
as well as while cranking the engine, then the
injector driver circuit is shorted to ground.

If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK.  The Fuel Injector
Coil Test Procedure will check if the injectors are
faulty.

7. Because the test light was “ON” steady, voltage to

the injector is OK, but the driver circuit is grounded
at all times.  This step determines if the circuit is
shorted to ground or the PCM is faulty.

9.The reading should be about 12-14

W

.

10.Locating the open in the harness or in the injector

will require removal of the manifold to provide
access.

6VE1 3.5 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0203 Injector 3 Control Circuit

D06R200014

Circuit Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) has six individual
injector driver circuits.  Each controls an injector.  When
the driver circuit is grounded by the PCM, the injector is
activated.  The PCM monitors the current in each driver
circuit.  The voltage on each driver is monitored to detect
a fault.  If the voltage is not what the PCM expects to
monitor on the circuit, a DTC is set.  This DTC is also set if
an injector driver is shorted to voltage or if there is an open
circuit.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

D

The battery voltage is more than 9 volts.

D

Engine speed is more than 700 rpm.

D

The engine is turning, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.

D

The injector voltage does not equal the ignition voltage
when the injector is commanded “OFF” or the injector
voltage does not equal 0 volts when the injector is
commanded “ON”.

D

The above conditions are met for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

D

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

The PCM will turn “OFF” the MIL on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault is no longer present.

D

A history DTC P0203 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.

D

DTC P0203 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

An injector driver circuit that is open or shorted to voltage
will cause a DTC P0203 to set.  It will also cause a misfire
due to an inoperative injector.  A misfire DTC will also be
set indicating which cylinder is inoperative.
Long term and short term fuel trims that are excessively
high or low are a good indication that an injector is faulty.
Use Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure to check for faulty
injectors.

cylinder 3 is “ON” steady before cranking the engine
as well as while cranking the engine, then the
injector driver circuit is shorted to ground.

If the test light blinks while cranking, the PCM and
the wiring to the injectors are OK.  The Fuel Injector
Coil Test Procedure will check if the injectors are
faulty.
