P2157

Moderate

Fuel Injector Group "D" Supply Voltage Circuit High

What Does P2157 Mean?

The PCM has detected that the voltage supply to fuel injector group D is higher than expected. This indicates an issue with excessive voltage in the power supply circuit or a driver circuit fault.

Common Causes

30%

Short to voltage in injector group D wiring harness

Wiring harness

25%

Faulty PCM injector driver circuit stuck high

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Disconnect injector group D connector and measure voltage at harness side (should be 0V with key off)

2

Step 2: Check for voltage bleeding from adjacent circuits or pinched wires

3

Step 3: Test injector relay operation and check for stuck contacts causing continuous power

4

Step 4: Verify all PCM grounds are clean, tight, and have less than 0.1 ohm resistance to battery negative

5

Step 5: Monitor injector driver signal with oscilloscope to verify PCM output is correct

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $1,200

Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
