Injector 3 - circuit malfunction

100%
Causes
- Open circuit in injector #3 wiring (broken wire, connector disconnected)
- Short to ground in injector #3 wiring
- Short to battery/voltage supply in injector #3 circuit
- High resistance in injector connector or wiring (corrosion, poor pin contact)
- Failed injector coil (electrical short or open)
- Faulty ECM injector driver (low-side driver)
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) / Check Engine Light illuminated
- Engine misfire on cylinder 3 (rough idle, single-cylinder stumble)
- Reduced engine power, hesitation or surge under load
- Increased fuel consumption and emissions
- Hard starting or extended cranking times
- Occasional or consistent cylinder 3 misfire diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
What to check
- Scan vehicle and record freeze-frame data and live PIDs (fuel trim, misfire counters, injector command)
- Visual inspection of injector #3 connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, pins pushed out or water ingress
- Check fuses and injector power relay for proper operation
- Measure injector #3 coil resistance with engine off and battery disconnected and compare to OEM spec
- Back-probe harness connector with ignition on to verify battery supply (typically constant 12 V or switched 12 V depending on design)
- Check for proper ground continuity from injector connector to engine/chassis ground
Signal parameters
- Injector coil resistance: refer to OEM spec. Typical ranges (approximate): 1–4 Ω (low-impedance) or 10–18 Ω (high-impedance) — confirm with Dacia service data
- Supply voltage at injector harness with ignition ON: about battery voltage (~11–14 V) on the power feed (if applicable)
- Injector drive: low-side switching to ground by ECM. When commanded, driver typically pulls to near 0 V; when off it is held near battery voltage via driver transistor
- Pulse width at idle: typically ~2–5 ms (varies by engine load and ECU strategy) — use scan tool to view actual injector pulse width
- Waveform: square switching pulse when viewed with oscilloscope; abnormal shapes indicate driver or wiring problems
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve DTCs and freeze-frame data with a scan tool; note related codes (misfire, fuel trim). Clear codes and attempt a re-test to confirm persistence.
- Perform a visual inspection of injector #3 connector, wiring harness and routing. Look for melted insulation, chafing, corrosion, pin damage or signs of water entry.
- Check related fuses and the injector power relay. Verify power to the injector power feed if the design uses a common supply.
- With ignition off and battery disconnected, measure static resistance of injector #3 between the connector pins. Compare to OEM specification. If resistance is open or far out of range, replace the injector.
- Reconnect battery. With ignition ON (engine off), back-probe the injector connector to confirm the power feed voltage and ground presence. If power absent, trace upstream to fuse/relay and wiring.
- Start engine (or crank) and use a noid light or oscilloscope on injector #3 connector to verify the injector pulse signal. Observe waveform shape and duty cycle. No pulse indicates ECM driver or wiring interruption.
- Perform a wiggle test of wiring while observing scan tool PIDs or oscilloscope for intermittent changes. Repair any damaged wiring or connectors.
- If wiring and supply are good but injector does not operate correctly, swap injector #3 with another cylinder’s injector (observe fuel safety procedures). If the fault moves with the injector, replace the injector. If the fault stays on cylinder 3, suspect wiring or ECM driver.
- After repair or replacement, clear codes and perform a road/operation test to confirm the fault does not return. If ECM driver failure is strongly suspected after eliminating wiring and injector faults, consult OEM procedures for ECM testing/replacement.
- Safety note: relieve fuel system pressure before removing injectors and take standard precautions when working around fuel and running engines.
Likely causes
- Corroded or loose connector at injector #3
- Wiring harness chafed where it rubs on chassis or engine components
- Injector coil open or shorted
- Water intrusion or corrosion in injector harness connector
- Blown injector-related fuse or faulty power supply/relay
- Damaged ECM driver for cylinder 3 (less common)
Fault status
Status
