Description
1. General Description
Based on information from various sensors, the ECM decides the fuel injection amount. The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated valve and the fuel injection amount is controlled by length of time the fuel injector is held open. The ECM controls each injector by grounding the control circuit. When the ECM energizes the injector by grounding the control circuit, the circuit voltage should be low (theoretically 0V) and the fuel is injected. When the ECM de-energizes the injector by opening control circuit, the fuel injector is closed and circuit voltage should be peak for a moment.
2. DTC Description
The ECM sets DTC P0261 if the ECM detects that injector control line is short to ground.

Channel 1 probe(-) : Chassis ground.
Schematic Diagram
Signal Waveform
This figure shows the voltage waveform on channel1 in idling.
At point ?,the measured voltage should be nearly battery voltage.
The measured voltage at point ? is the surge voltage and is approximately 56V.
The measured voltage at point ? is below 1V and the period is between 1.8ms and 4ms in idling under warmed up condition.

Is Injector’s Waveform Switching Properly?
If the injector’s waveform shows simillarly with that of figure above,it is likely to be normal injector.
In case there is no symptom and wrong data but DTC is shown |
The problem may be intermittent so slightly shake the connector and harness vertically and horizontally to check if there is any data changes |
If the data changes normally, the problem was intermittent so erase DTC and verify the same DTC reoccure. Go to "Terminal and Connector inspection" procedure. |
In case there is symptom and wrong data with DTC |
Check open,short or connector’s connection for injector. |
Check the deterioration of injector performance. Go to "Signal circuit inspection" procedure. |
