Troubleshooting steps covered
- Check for multiple codes (SPN 168 or SPN 723) and service those first
- Start and warm the engine above 71°C (160°F)
- Inspect the rear fuel injector harness 14-pin connector for bent pins and water or oil intrusion
- Measure and record resistance on the valve-cover side of the injector harness
- Remove the rocker cover and rear injector harness, then measure injector pin resistance
- Check the engine-side harness to the MCM 120-pin connector
- Install a test MCM and confirm whether the fault stays active
