Same as P233A but with the control line shorted to ground - the ECU measures a low voltage that does not match the commanded duty cycle.
Affected components
- Fuel pressure regulator c
- Fuel rail
Common causes
- High likelihood: Control line shorted to ground
- Medium likelihood: Regulator solenoid shorted internally
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Hard start, no start, or stalling under load
- Power loss especially at high load or rpm
- Possible long cranking time
