Air Assisted Injector Control Circuit High
Control voltage of the air-assist injector valve is above the expected range — short to power or open ground. A flow-deviating injector throws off cylinder balance — adjacent cylinders run leaner/richer to compensate, often masking the root cause until the trim limit is hit.
Affected components
- Air assist valve
- Actuator wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Wiring shorted to battery
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Diagnostic notes
