The PACCAR MX P1202 page of the 2013 PACCAR MX Diagnostic Service Manual is the manufacturer reference for diagnostic trouble code P1202, described in the manual as “Injector solenoid valve cylinder 1 – Short circuit between ECU D420 pin A1 and A2”. It is a 5-page PDF section covering injector solenoid valve diagnostics on EPA2013 PACCAR MX engines, and it keeps the same layout as every other code page in that manual.

What PACCAR MX P1202 means
The manual files P1202 as a 1 trip MIL code with 3 drive cycle recovery, readiness group None and freeze frame type Comprehensive. The diagnostic runs when the power stage hardware is active. The code sets when high side voltage on the injector before injection, compared with battery voltage, falls outside the 20.00% and 80.00% threshold values, or current through the sense resistor is greater than 25 A, and it changes to inactive immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
Possible causes and technical data
The possible causes field on this page reads “no possible causes available”, so the printed troubleshooting order is the only guidance the manual gives.
Technical data gives the component check on injector solenoid valve cylinder 1 (B421) through connector B460 with the ignition keyed off, listing ± 0.67 Ω at 20°C [68°F] and a maximum of 0.94 Ω at 120°C [248°F]; the same table is repeated for the other cylinders. The page then runs 5 numbered troubleshooting steps, each with its own step ID, starting from a visual inspection of connectors and harness with the ignition off. The manual warns against back probing, notes that disconnecting the EAS connectors during troubleshooting produces multiple errors, and reminds the technician to exit the fault code menu in DAVIE and rerun the test before judging whether anything changed.
Who needs this PACCAR MX P1202 manual page
Heavy-duty technicians, fleet shops and independent workshops diagnosing Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks with EPA2013 PACCAR MX engines use this page to confirm what the ECU actually measured before parts are ordered.
