P2147 Fault Code
P2147 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description
Fuel Injector Group A Supply Voltage Circuit Low
What does trouble code P2147 mean?
The P2147 code refers to an issue with the Fuel Injector Group A Supply Voltage Circuit. This code indicates that the supply voltage to the fuel injectors in Group A is lower than the expected range, which can lead to improper fuel delivery and affect engine performance.
- Commonly presents with other codes related to fuel trim or injector performance.
- May be caused by wiring issues, poor connections, or a malfunctioning engine control module (ECM).
Symptoms
What are the symptoms of the P2147 code?
Drivers may experience a variety of symptoms when this code is triggered:
- Engine misfires or rough idling due to insufficient fuel being injected.
- Decreased engine performance and power output during acceleration.
- Poor fuel economy resulting from improper fuel delivery.
- Potential engine stalling or starting issues.
Causes
What causes the P2147 code?
Several factors can contribute to a low supply voltage in the fuel injector circuit:
- Damaged or worn wiring and connectors in the injector circuit.
- Poor ground connection, which can affect the operation of the injectors.
- Faulty fuel injectors that cause a short to ground.
- ECM failure or malfunction that prevents the proper voltage from being sent to the injectors.
Possible Solutions
How to fix P2147?
To resolve the P2147 fault code, the following steps are recommended:
- Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with Injector Group A for signs of damage or corrosion.
- Use a multimeter to check for proper voltage at the injectors and identify any breaks in the circuit.
- Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as necessary.
- Confirm the integrity of the ECM and its function in controlling the fuel injectors.
