    2. ⇒If any other DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.
  2. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0263, P0266, P0269, and P0272 should not set.
  3. 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.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, inspect for the following:
    2. • Low compression
    • Engine mechanical condition
    • Kinked or bent injection lines
    • Injection nozzle malfunctioning
