Injector supply voltage (key ON, engine OFF): approx. battery voltage (~11–14 V) at supply rail if it is a switched 12V feed
Injector coil resistance (typical): ~1–16 ohms (varies by injector type) — open if infinite
Open-circuit detection: very high resistance or no voltage at supply/driver pin
Driver output behavior: ECM typically pulses the injector circuit to ground; scope should show ground-side pulse when engine cranks or runs
Continuity: near-zero ohms between injector supply pin and fuse/relay output; any high resistance suggests problem

Safety first: park on level, set parking brake, disconnect battery only if required by manufacturer procedures.
Retrieve and record all stored codes and freeze-frame data; clear codes and attempt to reproduce to confirm P217D returns.
Visually inspect the Group H injector harness, connectors, and any nearby wiring for damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
Check relevant fuses and relays for the injector/fuel rail supply. Replace if blown and retest.
With key ON (engine OFF), backprobe the injector Group H supply pin(s). Verify expected supply voltage (battery voltage) or reference voltage per wiring diagram.
Measure resistance of each injector in group H. Replace any injector with open coil or out-of-spec resistance.
Perform continuity test from the injector supply pin to the fuse/relay output and to the ECM connector pin per the wiring diagram. Repair any open circuits.
Check for shorts: disconnect injectors and measure for short-to-ground or short-to-battery on the supply and driver circuits.
Use an oscilloscope to observe injector driver waveform while cranking/running to confirm ECM is commanding injectors; if no driver pulses but wiring and supply are good, suspect ECM.
After repairing wiring/connectors or replacing bad injector(s), clear codes and verify repair by road test and rescanning.
If wiring and injectors test good but the fault persists, consult wiring diagrams and consider ECM diagnosis or replacement following manufacturer guidance.
