Causes
- Blown or corroded fuse supplying injector rail or PCM
- Faulty fuel injector relay or control relay
- Damaged wiring harness, chafed insulation, connector corrosion or loose connector at Group B injectors
- Short to ground on the injector supply circuit
- One or more failed injectors creating an abnormal load
- Poor battery or charging system voltage (weak battery, bad alternator)
Symptoms
- Check Engine MIL illuminated (P2150 stored)
- Engine running rough, misfire or cylinder group roughness associated with Group B injectors
- Reduced engine power or limp-home mode in some vehicles
- Hard starting or no-start if supply is severely low
- Poor fuel economy and increased exhaust emissions
What to check
- Read freeze frame and live data with a scan tool; note conditions when the code set (key on, cranking, idle, load)
- Verify battery voltage at rest and while cranking (should be ~12.4 V resting, ~10 V minimum while cranking)
- Inspect fuses and relays related to injector power and PCM power; replace if blown or suspect
- Visually inspect injector Group B harness and connectors for damage, corrosion, bent pins or poor pin retention
- Backprobe the Group B injector supply connector(s) and measure voltage with key ON, CRANK and ENGINE RUN
- Measure injector coil resistance for each injector in Group B and compare to spec
Signal parameters
- Injector supply voltage (key ON): approximately battery voltage (≈12 V)
- Injector supply voltage (engine running): ~12–14.5 V (depending on charging system)
- Acceptable drop from fuse/relay to injector connector: typically
- Injector coil resistance (typical ranges): low-impedance injectors ≈2–16 Ω; high-impedance injectors ≈40–80+ Ω — consult vehicle-specific spec
- Injector driver output: pulse duty cycles and pulse widths vary with RPM/load; PCM switches the injector ground/power depending on system design
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify DTC and related codes; record freeze frame and related PIDs. Check for multiple injector or supply codes.
- Confirm battery and charging system health: measure static and cranking voltage; ensure >12 V static and adequate cranking voltage.
- Inspect and test fuses and relays for the injector supply and PCM power. Replace suspect items.
- Visually inspect Group B injector harness and connectors for damage, corrosion, or poor seating. Repair as required.
- Backprobe the Group B injector power feed at the connector. With key ON then while cranking/idle, confirm supply voltage is at or near battery voltage. Note any drops or intermittency.
- Measure injector coil resistance for each injector in Group B and compare to manufacturer spec. Remove/disable suspect injector and re-check supply voltage to see if load-related.
- Perform continuity and short-to-ground tests from the supply fuse/relay to each Group B injector connector. Repair any opens/shorts.
- Wiggle test wiring and connectors while monitoring live data/voltage to find intermittent faults.
- Verify PCM grounds and power inputs. If wiring and connectors are good and injectors test out of spec, replace defective injector(s).
- If wiring, fuses, relays and injectors are OK, suspect PCM/injector driver fault; perform PCM bench or replacement testing per OEM procedures.
- Clear codes after repairs and perform test drive and re-scan to confirm the fault does not return.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or failed injector/PCM supply relay
- Corroded/loose connector or damaged wiring in the injector Group B harness
- Short to ground on the supply circuit near Group B injectors
- Faulty injector(s) causing a heavy load on the supply circuit
Fault status
Status
PCM detected low voltage on Fuel Injector Group B supply circuit. Injector Group B may be disabled or functioning improperly until the supply problem is corrected.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
