DTC P2269 - LNP or LNQ

The water in fuel sensor is located in the bottom of the fuel filter housing. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the water in fuel sensor signal circuit for a predetermined voltage.

The ECM detects an incorrect water in fuel sensor signal for more than 3 s.

DTC P2269 is a Type C DTC.

1. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P2269 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 B116 Water in Fuel Sensor.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Install the main fuse. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage 1 circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition 1 voltage circuit and replace as necessary.

4. Verify the scan tool Water In Fuel sensor parameter displays No Water.

⇒	If the parameter displays Water, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

Caution: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit may have a short to a voltage or a short to ground and the sensor might be damaged.

5. Install a 1 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool Water In Fuel Sensor parameter displays Water.

⇒	If the parameter displays No Water, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B116 Water in Fuel Sensor.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
