P2157 Fault Code

P2157 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description

Fuel Injector Group D Supply Voltage Circuit High

What does trouble code P2157 mean?

The P2157 fault code indicates that there is an issue with the supply voltage circuit of the fuel injector group D. This means that the voltage supplied to the fuel injectors in this group is higher than the expected range. This situation can lead to poor engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to the fuel injectors.

Symptoms

What are the symptoms of the P2157 code?
