P216F

Critical
Moderate

Fuel Injector Group "F" Supply Voltage Circuit High

What Does P216F Mean?

The PCM has detected abnormally high voltage in the power supply circuit feeding fuel injector group F. This typically indicates an open circuit, poor ground connection, or driver circuit issue in the PCM.

Safety Warning

Engine will run rough or not start due to inactive injectors. Vehicle may stall unexpectedly or exhibit severe lack of power.

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Verify all injector connectors for group F are properly connected and not damaged

2

Step 2: Check continuity of injector power supply circuit from PCM to each injector

3

Step 3: Test ground circuits for proper continuity and resistance (should be less than 1 ohm)

4

Step 4: Measure injector coil resistance and compare to manufacturer specifications

5

Step 5: Monitor injector command signal with scan tool or oscilloscope while cranking
