DTC P2146 or P2149

The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the injector positive voltage control circuits. The ECM energises each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit of that fuel injector. The ECM monitors the status of the injector positive voltage control circuits and the fuel injector control circuits.

When the ECM detects a fuel injector circuit malfunction, the fuel injectors in the affected group will be disabled.

The ECM detects an open, short to ground, or a short to voltage on the voltage supply circuit of the fuel injector.

DTCs P2146 and P2149 are Type A DTCs.

DTCs P2146 and P2149 are Type A DTCs.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P2146 or P2149 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector. Refer to diagnostic aids.
2. Verify a test lamp does not illuminate between any of the fuel injector circuits and B+.

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Test for 2-4 V on all of the fuel injector circuits.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Test for less than 1 Ω on all of the appropriate fuel injector circuits.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, repair the appropriate circuit for a high resistance.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate inoperative Q17 Fuel Injector.

Static Test

1. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector.

Note: The DMM and test leads must be calibrated to 0 Ω in order to prevent misdiagnosis.

2. Test for 0.3-0.7 Ω between the low control terminal 1 and the high control terminal 2.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the appropriate inoperative Q17 Fuel Injector.

3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal of the fuel injector and ground.

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the appropriate inoperative Q17 Fuel Injector.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
