Cylinder 10 Injector A Circuit High

Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Short to battery / constant 12V on the injector control circuit
  • Corroded, damaged or loose injector connector
  • Open or high-resistance wiring between injector and ECU
  • Failed injector (internal short or stuck state)
  • Faulty ECU/PCM injector driver
  • Poor or missing ground at injector harness or ECU

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL/CHECK ENGINE) illuminated
  • Rough idle or misfire localized to cylinder 10
  • Reduced engine power or hesitation under load
  • Hard starting or extended cranking
  • Poor fuel economy or increased smoke (diesel engines)
  • Possible stored multiple injector-related trouble codes

What to check

  • Perform a visual inspection of injector 10 connector, wiring harness, and ECU connector for damage, corrosion, or oil/contamination
  • Check related fuses and fuel/injector relays
  • Back-probe the injector connector to measure supply voltage with key ON (should be battery voltage) and to observe driver signal while cranking/running
  • Measure injector coil resistance with the injector unplugged and compare to spec
  • Check continuity between injector terminal and ECU pin and measure for short to battery or ground
  • Use a lab scope to view injector waveform (look for expected pulse shape and amplitude)

Signal parameters

  • Battery/supply voltage at injector connector (key ON): ~12 V
  • Injector coil resistance (typical ranges): 0.5–3.0 Ω for low‑ohm solenoid injectors (spec varies by engine). Compare to manufacturer spec.
  • Driver output: pulsed ground or pulsed supply depending on design; pulse width varies with load/engine speed (typically 0.5–10 ms)
  • Expected waveform: rapid initial current spike then a regulated hold/current; absence or abnormal high DC level suggests short or driver fault
  • Open-circuit: infinite/very high resistance; short-to-battery: near 0 Ω to battery voltage on connector

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve freeze frame and pending codes; note engine conditions when fault set.
  2. Visually inspect injector 10 connector and harness for damage, corrosion, pin push-out, or water intrusion. Repair as needed.
  3. With ignition OFF, unplug injector 10 and measure coil resistance across injector terminals. Compare to spec. Replace injector if out of range.
  4. With key ON (engine off) back-probe the supply terminal at injector 10. Confirm constant battery voltage at the supply pin. Repair supply if missing.
  5. With engine cranking or running, back-probe the driver terminal and observe for switching pulses (use scope preferred). If driver shows constant battery voltage or excessive voltage, suspect short to battery or driver fault.
  6. Check continuity between injector driver pin at ECU and injector harness pin. Confirm no short to battery or to ground. Repair wiring as required.
  7. Perform a swap test: install injector 10 into another cylinder or replace with a known-good unit. Clear codes and see if P0289 follows the injector or stays with cylinder position. If it follows injector, replace injector. If it stays, suspect wiring or ECU.
  8. If wiring checks good and injector is within spec but fault persists, inspect ECU connector for corrosion/damage and consider ECU driver failure. Consult manufacturer procedures before replacing ECU.
  9. After repairs, clear codes and road-test under similar conditions to confirm fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Wiring short to battery on cylinder 10 injector circuit
  • Corroded connector at injector 10 producing high resistance
  • Failed injector (internal electrical fault)
  • Damaged or water-intruded ECU connector or failed injector driver

Fault status

⚠️ Status
High voltage detected on Cylinder 10 Injector A circuit — possible short to battery, damaged connector/wiring, failed injector, or faulty ECU injector driver.
