P2623

Critical
Moderate

Injector Control Pressure Regulator Circuit/Open

What Does P2623 Mean?

The PCM has detected an open circuit or complete loss of signal in the injector control pressure regulator circuit. This code applies to diesel engines with electronic high-pressure fuel injection systems.

Safety Warning

Engine may not start, run rough, or experience severe power loss. Continued operation may cause fuel system damage or injector failure.

Common Causes

35%

Open or broken wiring in injector pressure regulator control circuit

Wiring harness
Electrical connectors

30%

Failed injector control pressure regulator valve or solenoid

Injector control pressure regulator
ICP regulator valve

20%

Corroded or damaged connector at pressure regulator

ICP regulator connector
Connector pins

15%

Faulty PCM with failed output driver circuit

PCM
Engine control module

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect injector pressure regulator connector for corrosion, oil contamination, or damaged pins

2

Step 2: Check wiring continuity from PCM to injector pressure regulator on all circuits

3

Step 3: Measure resistance of injector pressure regulator solenoid (typically 2-8 ohms depending on system)

4

Step 4: Monitor commanded versus actual fuel rail pressure with scan tool during operation

5

Step 5: Test PCM output signal to regulator with oscilloscope for proper PWM or voltage signal

Estimated Repair Cost

$250 - $1,500
